From: Gut microbiota was modulated by moxibustion stimulation in rats with irritable bowel syndrome
Alpha diversity of gut microbiota between groups. Alpha diversity was decreased in IBS model rats compared with normal rats, yet significantly increased in moxibustion- and Pinaverium Bromide-treated rats compared with IBS rats. NC: normal group; MC: IBS model group; MOX: moxibustion group; EA: electroacupuncture group; BTVC: Bifid-triple Viable Capsule group; PB: Pinaverium Bromide group
