Fig. 3. Real-time RT-PCR for IL-6, iNOS, IL-10, and HO-1 mRNA expressions in the isolated colonic muscularis externa were measured 6 h after the designated insult and compared with controls.
Inflammatory mediator expressions with the muscularis externa samples from controls, sham HS, sham CLP, HS, CLP, HS + CLP, and HS + delayed CLP were investigated. Data represent mean ± SEM for each group with F test analysis and Bonferroni post hoc group comparisons (*, †, and ‡P < 0.05 vs. controls; ‡P = 0.05 vs. CLP and HS + CLP; n = 5 each group).
