Core Tip This study clarified the specific contribution of Poria (PR) as the “sovereign” drug in Fuling Zexie decoction (FZD) for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease. We confirmed that PR plays an irreplaceable role and its removal significantly weakened the therapeutic efficacy of FZD. The superior effects of FZD were attributed to diverse active components (six derived from PR), the specific regulation of five metabolic pathways (biotin, ascorbate/aldarate, alanine/aspartate/glutamate, inositol phosphate, and galactose metabolism), and 148 differential metabolites. Additionally, incorporating PR dregs enhanced antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, indicating that water-insoluble polysaccharides are key bioactive constituents.
