Schematic diagram of the combined effects of the B. chinense-S. baicalensis herbal pair in Alcoholic Liver Injury. Alcoholic Liver Injury was used to research the characteristics of B. chinense- S. baicalensis, which is controlled by B. chinense and S. baicalensis, and their main active ingredients baicalin and saikosaponin. The biochemical indicators and histology indicated that B. chinense-S. baicalensis presented the best efficacy, which could be further illustrated by global, local, and symbiotic metabolic analysis. Finally, metallomic analysis was employed to uncover the distribution changes of selenium which, unlike other metal elements, was significantly increased by B. chinense-S. baicalensis in liver tissue to demonstrate multiple benefits such as anti-oxidative stress and hepatoprotective effect, to relieve drug pressure.
