Effect of mild moxibustion on intestinal microbiota and NLRP6 inflammasome signaling in rats with post-inflammatory irritable bowel syndrome

Figure 7 Effects of mild moxibustion on the mRNA and protein expression of NLRP6, ASC, and Caspase-1 in the colon of post-infectious/post-inflammatory irritable bowel syndrome rats in each group. A: The mRNA expression levels of NLRP6, ASC, and Caspase-1; B: The protein expression of NLRP6, ASC, and Caspase-1. ^aP < 0.05 and ^bP < 0.01 vs normal control group; ^dP < 0.01 vs model control group; ^eP < 0.05 and ^fP < 0.01 vs sham moxibustion group.
