Effect and Mechanism of Qihua Tongtiao Formula (QHTTF) on Improving Glucose and Lipid Metabolism Disorders in ZDF Rats by Integrating Network Pharmacology, Metabolomics, and Biological Validation.

ABSTRACT: Background: The dysregulation of both glucose and lipid metabolism is the main clinical features of type 2 diabetes. Qihua Tongtiao Formula (QHTTF) is our team's current clinical empirical formula, and the related patent has been granted. It is composed of Astragalus membranaceus, Atractylodes macrocephala koidz, Aurantii Fructus Immaturus, Radix Bupleuri, Ligusticum chuanxiong hort, Angelicae sinensis radix, Raphanus sativus, and Polyporus umbellatus. It can alleviate tissue pathological damage in type 2 diabetic rats by improving glycolipid metabolism disorders. Nevertheless, the specific mechanisms of QHTTF in the treatment of type 2 diabetes remain unclear. Purpose: This research aims to explore the fundamental effect and u
