Integrated gut microbiota and serum pharmacochemistry reveal the mechanisms of wine steaming in alleviating rhubarb diarrhea

Long-term use of rhubarb (RH) can cause adverse gastrointestinal reactions (such as diarrhea), whereas RH steaming with wine (PRH) can alleviate RH-induced diarrhea. However, the potential material basis and mechanisms by which wine steaming alleviates diarrhea caused by RH remain unclear.
