Altered vasoactive intestinal peptides expression in irritable bowel syndrome patients and rats with trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid-induced colitis

Figure 2 Vasoactive intestinal peptide co-localizes with the neuronal marker; Neurofilament. Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) co-localizes with the neuronal marker; Neurofilament (NF). Top panel shows VIP positive cells (A), NF positive cells (B) and co-labeled cells in yellow with DAPI nuclear stain in blue (C) for control animals. Lower panel shows VIP positive cells (D), NF positive cells (E) and co-labeled cells in yellow with DAPI nuclear stain in blue (F) 14 d following TNBS treatment. TNBS: Trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid.
