(2) The model features animals with withered fur, prone to lying down, curled up, emaciated, reduced diet, thin stools, some animals with prolapse, and insignificant weight gain; The swimming time was significantly shortened, and the plasma total protein (TP) and albumin (Alb) were significantly reduced.
