Fig. 4. Colonic muscle strips contractility in symptomatic uncomplicated diverticular disease (SUDD) patients versus controls (control group [CG]). In the SUDD group we found a significant reduced basal tone (A) and a reduced acetylcholine (ACh)-elicited contraction over basal (B), compared to the results obtained in the CG (being 7.16 g in the SUDD group and 8.82 g in the CG, P < 0.05). *P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001.
