Fig 8. Effects of chronic social stress in pigs on mast cell chymase and tryptase mRNA expression and mast cell tryptase staining in ileum and colon.

Fig 8

Relative mRNA expression of (A) ileal CMA1 and (B) ileal MCT7. (C) Ileal submucosal mast cell tryptase-positive counts. Relative mRNA expression of (D) colonic CMA1 and (E) colonic MCT7. (F) Colonic submucosal mast cell tryptase-positive counts. mRNA values are relative to the expression level measured in control pigs. Values are means ± SE (n = 6 per treatment). ** indicates significant difference, P ≤ 0.01; * indicates significant difference, P ≤ 0.05; P = 0.07 (C), P = 0.09 (F) by Students T-test.
