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

<table>Relative levels of NGF mRNA were increased in the distal colon in +/+ but not Ws/Ws rats induced by intestinal infection (PI) and acute cold restraint stress (ACRS). Data was normalized to 18S ribosomal RNA and expressed using the 2<sup>−ΔΔCt</sup> method. *<svg height="11.375" id="M26" style="vertical-align:-0.1638pt" version="1.1" viewbox="0 0 58.712502 11.375" width="58.712502" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
