The EMG activities, changes of TRPV1, and the motility of the isolated ileum were detected in recipient mice after fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT). The EMG activities of visceromotor response to colorectal distension (a). Quantification of TRPV1 IR labelling intensity (b). Relative quantification for western blot analysis (c). Data are expressed as density normalized to β-actin.
