Immumohistochemical analysis stain for assessing 5-HT-positive cells expression in IBS-D rats. (A) IHC of 5-HT in the colon (scar bar: 100 μm), (B) MOD of 5-HT in the colon, (C) IHC of 5-HT in the hippocampus (scar bar: 1000 μm), (D) MOD of 5-HT in the hippocampus. The data were represented as mean ± SEM. **p < 0.01 versus NC group; ##p < 0.01 versus MC group; bp < 0.01 versus CKF + PFK group. NC, control group; MC, model control group; CKF, Chang-Kang-Fang group; PFK, Bifico group; PFK-TM, Bifico target-colon capsule group; CKF-D + PFK, Chang-Kang-Fang combined with Bifico group; CKF-D + PFK-TM, Chang-Kang-Fang combined with Bifico target-colon capsule group; 5-HT, serotonin; MOD, mean optical density; CA3, cornu amonis 3; DG, dentate gyrus.
