“…Similar to the construction of the endogenous library, for the construction of the dietary library, the ginger metabolites were injected into a Q-Exactive Plus Orbitrap mass spectrometer, as described in Section 2.6. Ginger metabolites such as (5S)- [6]-gingerol (6G), (5S)- [8]-gingerol (8G), (5S)- [10]-gingerol (10G), [6]-shogaol (6S), [8]-shogaol (8S), [10]shogaol (10S), (3R,5S)- [6]-gingerdiol, (3S,5S)- [6]-gingerdiol, and [6]-gingerdione were purified from the GEG extract. 14,15 On the other hand, 6S metabolites named 6S-M1, 6S-M2, 6S-M5, 6S-M6, 6S-M7, 6S-M9, 6S-M10, 6S-M11, 6S-M12, 6S-M20, and 6S-4′-glucuronide were synthesized from 6S.…”
