MSS of rats in different groups. The average MSS scores of the model group, GTS-21 group, and MLA group were much higher than those of rats in the control group and those of rats in the control group. value and 95% CI (confidence interval) were, respectively, 0.000, -21.215∼-17.745; 0.00, -19.064∼-16.222; and 0.00, -23.359∼-18.841. The average MSS score of the MLA group was much higher than that of rats in the GTS-21 group; the value and 95% CI were, respectively, 0.003 and 0.906∼6.009. The average MSS scores of the GTS-21 group were much lower than those of the model group; the value and 95% CI were, respectively, 0.039 and -3.621∼-0.054. a: vs. control group; b: vs. model group; c: vs. GTS-21 group.
