Effects of QWS on the levels of TXB₂, 6-keto-PGF1α and inflammatory cytokines. A TXB₂ level was quantified, B 6-keto-PGF1α level was quantified, C. the ratio of TXB₂/6-keto-PGF1α was quantified. D–G the levels of IL-1β, IL-2, IL-6, TNF-α level were quantified. H, I 5-HT and β-EP levels were quantified. T2DM, type 2 diabetes mellitus; OU, oral ulcers; SH, stomach heat syndrome; QWS-H, Qingwei San extract (5.14 g/kg). Data were shown as mean ± SD (n = 10). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 vs. normal control group; ^&P < 0.05, ^&&P < 0.01 vs. T2DM + SH + OU group
