Essential Role of Mast Cells in the Visceral Hyperalgesia Induced by <i>T. spiralis</i> Infection and Stress in Rats

<table>The increased PAR2 expression induced by intestinal infection (PI) and acute cold restraint stress (ACRS) in distal colon of +/+, but not Ws/Ws, rats. (a) Representative western blotting for PAR2 in extracts from colon tissue. (b) Quantitative analysis of PAR2 protein. Data was expressed as normalized density to <i>β</i>-actin. (c) Relative levels of PAR2 mRNA in colon tissue. Data was normalized to 18S ribosomal RNA and expressed using the 2<sup>−ΔΔCt</sup> method. <svg height="13.95" id="M19" style="vertical-align:-0.1638pt" version="1.1" viewbox="0 0 66.324997 13.95" width="66.324997" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
