NGF in normal intestinal homeostasis and irritable bowel syndrome. a, b ELISA assay reveals that there is a significant upregulation of both NGF (a) and 5-HT (serotonin) (b) in the sera of IBS patients with diarrhea (IBS-D) (n = 31 for healthy controls; n = 45 for IBS-D patients) (**p < 0.01, two-tailed t test). c There is also a highly significant positive correlation between NGF and 5-HT in the sera derived from IBS-D patients and healthy controls (**p < 0.001, R = 0.5386, n = 70, Spearman’s correlation)
