Alterations in mRNA expressions of SP and 5-HT in the distal colon by sEA and medical treatment. (a) The level of SP mRNA expression in the distal colon. (b) The 5-HT mRNA expression in the distal colon.  < 0.001, comparison with the normal control; ^# < 0.05 and ^### < 0.001, comparison with the STC model; ^$ < 0.05, comparison with sEA.
