Notes: the normal group: normal rats without modeling; the KYD group received intramuscular hydrocortisone injections (25 mg/kg) (n = 30); the model group: KYD rats without treatment (n = 10); the LM-group: KYD rats were immobilized and received laser irradiation on Mingmen (GV4) and Guanyuan (CV4) for 10 min once every other day for 10 sessions (n = 10); the TM group: KYD rats received moxibustion on Mingmen (GV4) and Guanyuan (CV4) for 10 min once every other day for 10 sessions (n = 10). LM: 10.6-μm laser moxibustion; TM: traditional moxibustion; KYD: kidney Yang deficiency. ^aP < 0.05, compared with the normal group; ^bP < 0.05, compared with the model group.
