Fig. 5From: Comparing the antidiabetic effects and chemical profiles of raw and fermented Chinese Ge-Gen-Qin-Lian decoction by integrating untargeted metabolomics and targeted analysisProposed fermentation-induced chemical transformation mechanisms. a1 Flavone O-glycosides and aglycones; b1 isoflavone C-glycosides; a2 proposed biotransformed pathways of flavone O-glycosides and aglycones; b2 proposed biotransformed pathways of isoflavone C-glycosides. Solid arrows: prone to happen; dotted arrows: speculated/less likely to happen.
