Fig. 6From: Cross-organ sensitization between the prostate and bladder in an experimental rat model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced chronic pelvic pain syndromeHistopathological analysis of prostate and bladder inflammation. Scatter plots with bars indicate the grade of inflammation (a, c, e) and the extent of inflammation (b, d, f) in discrete individual values in controls and 10 (L10) or 14 (L14) days after intraprostatic injection with LPS. Analysis was performed on tissue slices from dorsal prostate (a-b), ventral prostate (c–d) and urinary bladder (e–f). Extent of inflammation was graded for all tissues that display a grade of inflammation > 0. * denotes significant difference (p < 0.05) between the treatment groups and controls in terms of mean rank values (Dunn`s test); n = 6 per groupBack to article page
