Figure 4From: Purinergic mechanosensory transduction and visceral pain A. ATP concentration ([ATP]) in perfusate immediately before and after distension of the human ureter, grouped in pressure ranges. The mean [ATP] after distension is significantly greater than before distension in each pressure range P < 0.01; n = 7, error bars represent s.e.m.
