Moxibustion eases chronic inflammatory visceral pain through regulating MEK, ERK and CREB in rats

Figure 3 Comparison of the mechanical withdrawal threshold and thermal withdrawal latency scores. A: MWT test used the Von Frey filament; B: TWL test followed Hargreaves. ^aP < 0.05 vs normal group; ^cP < 0.05 vs model group; ^eP < 0.05 vs sham-HPM group; ^gP < 0.05 vs DMSO group. MWT: Mechanical withdrawal threshold; TWL: Thermal withdrawal latency; NG: Normal group; MG: Model group; SHPMG: Sham-HPM group; MIG: MEK-inhibitor group; DG: Dimethyl sulfoxide group; HPM: Herb-partitioned moxibustion.
