Essential Role of Mast Cells in the Visceral Hyperalgesia Induced by <i>T. spiralis</i> Infection and Stress in Rats

<table>The expression of TRPV1 in L6S1 DRG neurons in +/+ and Ws/Ws rats induced by intestinal infection (PI) and acute cold restraint stress (ACRS). (a–f) Representative immunofluorescence images of TRPV1 immunoreactivity (IR)-positive neurons in L6S1 DRGs in +/+ rats (a–c) and Ws/Ws rats (d–f). Scare bar: 100 <i>μ</i>m. (g) Quantification of TRPV1 IR labelling intensity in L6S1 DRGs. (h) Representative western blotting for TRPV1 in extracts from L6S1 DRG extracts in +/+ and Ws/Ws rats. (i) Quantitative analysis of TRPV1 protein. Data was expressed as normalized density to <i>β</i>-actin. *<svg height="11.375" id="M40" style="vertical-align:-0.1638pt" version="1.1" viewbox="0 0 58.712502 11.375" width="58.712502" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
