2. Figure 1
IEL, mast cell, and EC cell counts in controls and patients with IBS-D. (A) IELs were significantly increased in patients with IBS-D. **P < .01, and in celiac patients ***P < (B) EC cell numbers were not significantly different in patients with IBS-D, but were in celiac patients, P < (C) Mast cells were significantly increased in both patients with IBS-D and patients with celiac disease compared with controls. ***P < .001.

3. Figure 2
Mucosal SERT expression in patients with celiac disease, patients with IBS-D, and controls. SERT/CK20 mRNA showed significant group effect Kruskal–Wallis, P < SERT/CK20 mRNA was significantly reduced in patients with celiac disease (P < .0001) and to a lesser extent in patients with IBS-D (P < .04).

4. Figure 3
SERT/CK20 mRNA correlation with IEL counts. There was a significant inverse correlation between log10 SERT mRNA normalized for the epithelial cell marker CK20 and log10 IEL counts (Spearman r = 0.72, n = 57, P < .0001).

5. Figure 4
Platelet serotonin uptake and 3H-paroxetine binding in controls, patients with celiac disease, and patients with IBS-D. (A) 5-HT uptake was significantly less in patients with IBS-D (P < .01) compared with healthy controls (see Table 3). (B) Paroxetine binding showed a reversed tendency with significantly increased paroxetine binding in patients with IBS-D (P < .001).
