Background: Spasmolytic polypeptide-expressing metaplasia (SPEM) is an injury-induced gastric epithelial reprogramming state with limited therapeutic options. Although mitochondrial dysfunction has been implicated in epithelial stress responses, its contribution to SPEM development remains incompletely understood. Traditional herbal decoctions have shown potential in alleviating gastric epithelial injury, yet their underlying mechanisms remain largely unclear. Purpose: This study aimed to invest
