Expression of inflammatory mediators in fundus muscularis externa from wild type, W/W^v, and W/W^v + mast cell reconstituted mice. (A) Bar graph showing no significant difference in MPO activity between the three types of mice. (B) Western blot showing a significant increase in COX-2 expression in W/W^v mice that was significantly reduced by mast cell reconstitution. (C) Western blot showing a significant increase in iNOS expression in W/W^v mice that was significantly reduced by mast cell reconstitution, n = 5, ^*p < 0.05 vs. wild type mice; ^#p < 0.05 vs. W/W^v mice.
