iNOS expression in patients and healthy individuals after bacteria stimulation. Western blot analysis of iNOS expression after 24 hours of stimulation with enteroinvasive Escherichia coli (EIEC) and or L. casei DG® (Lactobacillus paracasei CNCM I-1572; LCDG) in colonic mucosa of (a) healthy controls, (b) patients with diverticulosis, (c) SUDD and (d) SUDD with previous episodes of AD (SUDD + AD). EIEC + LCDG: LCDG added 2.5 hours after EIEC; LCDG + EIEC: EIEC added 2.5 hours after LCDG; EIEC and LCDG: EIEC and LCDG added contemporaneously. All results are expressed as mean ± SEM of n = 10 experiments performed in triplicate. *p < 0.05 vs CTRL; ** p < 0.05 vs EIEC. iNOS: inducible nitric oxide synthase; SUDD: symptomatic uncomplicated diverticular disease; AD: acute diverticulitis; CTRL: control; a.u.: arbitrary units.
