Table 4.

Percentage of SOM-ir enteric neurons in whole-mount preparations of non-inflamed and 8w p.i. WT and SSTR4^–/– ileum. Results are expressed as the percentage of SOM-ir neurons in the enteric plexuses ± standard deviation.

	Non-inflamed	8w p.i.
Myenteric plexus
WT	3.5 ± 0.9	4.1 ± 0.7
SSTR4–/–	4.3 ± 0.5	6.9 ± 0.8*,‡
Submucous plexus
WT	32.6 ± 7.3	34.1 ± 5.3
SSTR4–/–	34.2 ± 2.3	34.3 ± 1.8

^*= significantly different between WT and SSTR4^–/– ileum (P < 0.05)

^‡= significantly different between non-inflamed and 8w p.i. conditions (P < 0.05).
