Effects of SB on LPS-induced visceral allodynia and colonic hyperpermeability. (A) LPS significantly reduced the threshold of VMR, and SB dose-dependently reversed this response. (B) LPS increased colonic permeability, which was also blocked by SB. *p < 0.05 vs. vehicle (SB 0) + vehicle, #p < 0.05 vs. vehicle (SB 0) + LPS by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s HSD test. Each column represents mean ± SEM. The number of rats examined is shown in parentheses (n = 5−11).
