Essential Role of Mast Cells in the Visceral Hyperalgesia Induced by T. spiralis Infection and Stress in Rats
Figure 1
The distension volumes needed to reach an abdominal withdrawal reflex (AWR) score of 3 were significantly lower in postinfection (PI) rats, rats induced by acute cold restraint stress (ACRS), and PI rats received ACRS procedures (PI + ACRS). Each group represents the mean ± SEM of 6 rats. .
