Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a chronic and progressive neurodegenerative disorder. Rhodiola crenulata extract (RCE) has shown its protective effects on AD, however, the underlying mechanism is still unclear. In this work, serum lipidomics was conducted to reveal the action mechanism of RCE on AD by HPLC coupled with Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS). The animal model of AD was reproduced by intrahippocampal injection of Aβ₁₋₄₂ in rats. The novel object recognition test and passive avoidance test were performed to evaluate the protective effects of RCE on AD rats. The differences of lipid metabolism profiles in rats were evaluated by multivariate statistical analysis. Then, the potential lipid biomarkers were identified and the possible mechanism of RCE on AD was elucidated by metabolic pathways analysis. As a result, twenty-eight lipids with significant differences between the control group and the model group were screened out. With the treatment of RCE, 19 lipids in AD rats showed a trend of callback to the normal levels. The results of pathway analysis indicated that the protective effects of RCE on AD might be closely related to the regulation of linoleic acid metabolism, α-linoleic acid metabolism, sphingolipid metabolism and ether lipid metabolism. In conclusion, this study provides a new perspective on the potential intervention mechanism of RCE for AD treatment.
