Figure Lengend Snippet: Box plots of organ indices for mice across different groups, where the organ index is calculated as the ratio of organ weight to mouse weight. Panel (A) Shows the spleen index, and panel (B) Displays the thymus index. Panel (C) shows the serum levels of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), while panel (D) Shows the serum levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). Panel (E) Shows the cAMP/cGMP ratio. Significant differences are indicated with * p <0.05 and ** p <0.01. The groups are as follows: ZC (normal group), ZL (standing group), ZLZ (standing combined with lard group), and ZLZS (standing combined with internal and external moisture groups).
Article Snippet: The specifications for the ELISA kits used in the analysis are as follows: Mouse Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP) ELISA Kit (Batch number: JM-02729M2, Jiangsu Jingmei Biotechnology Co., Ltd.), Mouse Gastrin ELISA Kit (Batch number: JM-03140M2, Jiangsu Jingmei Biotechnology Co., Ltd.), Mouse D-xylose ELISA Kit (Batch number: JM-12962M2, Jiangsu Jingmei Biotechnology Co., Ltd.), Mouse Cyclic Guanosine Monophosphate (cGMP) ELISA Kit (Batch number: JM-02304M2, Jiangsu Jingmei Biotechnology Co., Ltd.), and Mouse Cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate (cAMP) ELISA Kit (Batch number: JM-02827M2, Jiangsu Jingmei Biotechnology Co., Ltd.).
