Polysaccharides from Er Chen Decoction: gastrointestinal fate, gut microbiota modulation and metabolomics
Background Er Chen Decoction (ECD), a classical formula for phlegm-related disorders, contains polysaccharides (PECD) as an important bioactive fraction. This study systematically assessed their gastrointestinal absorption, digestive stability, fecal fermentation, and correlations with gut microbiota and metabolic chan...
