The growth and development of follicles are a very complex physiological process that is regulated by endocrine, autocrine and paracrine mechanisms. The effect of small molecules in follicular microenvironment on follicular growth and development has not been clearly analyzed. In the present study, the metabolic changes in ovaries of FSH-stimulated mice were investigated. Metabolomic profiling of ovary stimulated by FSH were analyzed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry and characterized by principal components analysis and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis. Multivariate statistical analysis identified 21 differentially metabolites in positive ion mode and 12 in negative ion mode in the FSH-treated mice compared with the control mice. These results indicated that various types of phosphatidylcholine were changed. Furthermore, the levels of L-Glutamyl 5-phosphate, N-Acetyl-L-aspartic acid, 4-fumarylacetoacetic acid, adenylylselenate and 5′-Methylthioadenosine in the ovaries of the FSH-stimulated mice were decreased. However, the levels of 19-hydroxytestosterone and 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolic acid were significantly increased in the positive ion mode and negative ion mode, respectively. Thirty-three differential metabolites including fatty acid metabolism, amino acid metabolism and lipid metabolism in the ovaries of mice were affected by FSH injection. The findings of our study provide a new insight into understanding the follicular development.

Abstract Take Maimendong Decoction (MMDD), one of the Chinese classic herbal formulas, as an object to evaluate the chemical consistency between traditional decoction and mixed decoction. The ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole with time-of-flight mass spectrometry-based chemical profiling approach has been utilized. A total of 48 major peaks are detected from these two decoctions under the present chromatographic and mass spectrometry conditions. The results of negative ion mode show nine significant inconsistencies. Liquiritin, ginsenoside Ro and ginsenoside Rg5/Rk1 are detected with higher intensity in traditional preparation sample than the mixed decoction, while licoisoflavone A is higher in mixed decoction samples than the traditional one. The mechanisms involved in the chemical changes were assumed to be anti-inflammation, anti-oxidative stress and so on, suggesting these two different preparation approaches of MMDD may lead to a possibility of discrepant clinical outcomes.

Butterfly pea flower have great sensory attraction, but they have not yet been used widely in Vietnam. Extracts of butterfly pea flowers can be used conveniently as a natural blue colorant for food products. In this study, the identification of anthocyanin compounds in butterfly pea flowers was performed by UPLC coupled with a UV and Mass spectrometer instrument. Positive and negative ion electrospray MS/MS chromatograms and spectra of the anthocyanin compounds were determined. By analyzing the chromatograms and spectra for each ion, five anthocyanins were identified in the butterfly pea flower extract; these were delphinidin-3-(6”‐p-coumaroyl)-rutinoside, cyanidin 3-(6”-p-coumaroyl)-rutinoside, delphinidin-3-(p-coumaroyl) glucose in both cis- and trans- isomers, cyanidin-3-(p-coumaroyl-glucoside) and delphinidin-3-pyranoside. Additionally, based on their intensity, it was determined that cyanidin-3-(p-coumaroyl-glucoside) was the most abundant anthocyanin, followed by cyanidin 3-(6”-p-coumaroyl)-rutinoside, delphinidin-3-(p-coumaroyl-glucoside), delphinidin-3-(6”-p-coumaroyl)-rutinoside and delphinidin-3-pyranoside. In this study, cyanidin derivatives were discovered in butterfly pea flower extract, where these compounds had not been detected in previous studies.
