Metabolomic analysis of the impact of red ginseng on equine physiology.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Red ginseng (RG), a traditional herbal remedy, has garnered attention owing to its diverse health benefits resulting from its complex composition. However, extensive research is needed to substantiate the efficacy of RG and understand the underlying mechanisms supporting these benefits. This study aimed to identify potential biomarkers and investigate the impact of RG on related metabolic pathways in horse plasma using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)-based metabolomics.

Methods

Ten horses were divided into control and RG groups, with the latter administered RG at a dose of 600 mg⋅kg^-1⋅day^-1 for 3 weeks. Subsequently, the plasma samples were collected and analyzed using LC-MS. Multivariate statistical analysis, volcano plots,
