Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a complicated endocrine metabolic disease, accompanied with oxidative stress injury and low-grade inflammation. The effects of polysaccharide extracted from Dendrobium officinale stem (DOP) on oxidative stress, inflammation and dysregulated metabolism in the liver of type 2 diabetic rats and its potential mechanism were evaluated in the study. Here, ultra performance liquid chromatography - quadrupole - time - of - flight (UPLC-Q-TOF) mass spectrometry-based lipidomics and metabolomics analysis were carried out to study the amelioration of DOP on the liver metabolism disorders of type 2 diabetic rats. Lipidomics analysis indicated that the disturbed degree of fatty acid, glycerolipid (diacylglycerol and triacylglycerol), and glycerophospholipid (phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine) metabolism were mitigated by the DOP treatment. Metabolomics analysis revealed that the DOP treatment balanced the metabolism of ceramide and bile acids, including deoxycholic acid, taurocholic acid, and cholic acid. In addition, the symptoms of oxidative stress, inflammation, and hepatic lipid accumulation of liver were ameliorated by DOP administration. The above results suggest that the study of functional ingredient application of DOP might be meaningful for the management of T2D.
