Figure 2

Enhancement of nociceptive responses to urinary bladder distension (UBD). Panel A presents group mean EMG as a function of UBD pressure – a typical EMG response to a 60 mm Hg UBD is given as an inset. The 24 hr zymosan-treated group differed significantly (p < 0.05) from the naive and saline control groups as denoted by *. Panel B presents group mean ABP as a function of UBD – a typical pressor response to a 60 mm Hg UBD is given as an inset. The 24 hr zymosan-treated group differed significantly from the naive and saline control groups as denoted by *. In A & B all other comparisons were not statistically significant. Note: the number of subjects given in B is less than those in A due to occasional technical difficulty with ABP measurements. Symbols are per inset legend (controls with open symbols; zymosan-treated with filled symbols). Error bars indicate SEM.
