Therapeutic Effect and Metabolic Mechanism of A Selenium-Polysaccharide from Ziyang Green Tea on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Abstract

Ziyang green tea was considered a medicine food homology plant to improve chronic fatigue Ssyndrome (CFS) in China. The aim of this research was to study the therapeutic effect of selenium-polysaccharides (Se-TP) from Ziyang green tea on CFS and explore its metabolic mechanism. A CFS-rats model was established in the present research and Se-TP was administrated to evaluate the therapeutic effect on CFS. Some serum metabolites including blood urea nitrogen (BUN), blood lactate acid (BLA), corticosterone (CORT), and aldosterone (ALD) were checked. Urine metabolites were analyzed via gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Multivariate statistical analysis was also used to check the data. The results selected biomarkers that were entered into the MetPA database to analyze their corresponding metabolic pathways. The results demonstrated that Se-TP markedly improved the level of BUN and CORT in CFS rats. A total of eight differential metabolites were detected in GC-MS analysis, which were benzoic acid, itaconic acid, glutaric acid, 4-acetamidobutyric acid, creatine, 2-hydroxy-3-isopropylbutanedioic acid, l-dopa, and 21-hydroxypregnenolone. These differential metabolites were entered into the MetPA database to search for the corresponding metabolic pathways and three related metabolic pathways were screened out. The first pathway was steroid hormone biosynthesis. The second was tyrosine metabolism, and the third was arginine-proline metabolism. The 21-hydroxypregnenolone level of rats in the CFS group markedly increased after the Se-TP administration. In conclusion, Se-TP treatments on CFS rats improved their condition. Its metabolic mechanism was closely related to that which regulates the steroid hormone biosynthesis.

Effects of Sodium Selenite Injection on Serum Metabolic Profiles in Women Diagnosed with Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema—Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Placebo-Controlled Trial Using Global Metabolomics

“…Among the differential metabolites detected, corticosterone, LTB4-DMA and PGE 3 were elevated in the SE group and may be related to SE-mediated anti-BCRL effects, partly through anti-inflammatory roles. Se-rich polysaccharides were reported to increase serum corticosterone levels in a chronic fatigue rat model [41], consistent with our Se-mediated elevation of corticosterone. In another rodent model, elevation of corticosterone inhibited paw edema and chronic inflammatory responses [42].…”

“…A recent study showed that lysoPC 20:2 relieves the symptoms of gastrointestinal disorder by increasing the bacteria Ruminococcaceae and decreasing Streptococcaceae, Erysipelotrichaceae, and Lachnospiraceae in the fecal microbiota [ 42 ]. In addition, 1-linoleoylglycerol showed a high level of antioxidant activity in Morchella esculenta Pers [ 43 ], while 4-acetamidobutyric acid was involved in chronic fatigue syndrome [ 44 ] and pediatric overweight and obesity [ 45 ]. Shikimic acid has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, hair-growth-stimulating, and anti-aging effects as well as antifungal properties [ 46 ].…”

“…Studies indicated that exogenous deoxyinosine can be utilized to meet the carbon and energy requirements of growing cells (Carta et al, 2001). 21-Hydroxypregnenolone play an important role in steroid hormone biosynthesis, which does well in helping with memorization, anti-fatigue, and refreshing the neural system (C. Shao et al, 2018). However, other studies showed that 21-Hydroxypregnenolonemay be key biomarkers of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis abnormalities in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS)(C. Z.…”
