MRL/lpr: lupus model group; HCQ: hydroxychloroquine sulfate tablet group; LCP: Langchuang Pill group; LCF Low: low dose of LCF granule group (0.97 g/kg/d); LCF Medium: medium dose of LCF granule group (1.95 g/kg/d); LCF High: high dose of LCF granule group (3.90 g/kg/d). Data are expressed as means ± SDs, n = 10. ^∗ P < 0.05, ^∗∗ P < 0.01 versus MRL/lpr.
