Because all three components of lower urinary tract control (parasympathetic, sympathetic and somatic) are intimately associated with serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine [5HT])- norepinephrine (NE)- containing terminals receptors, in the present study, we examined effects increasing extracellular levels 5HT NE duloxetine, a reuptake inhibitor, on function under "normal" or nonirritated conditions (transvesical infusion saline) model bladder irritation (i.e., transvesical 0.5% acetic acid)...

We characterized small intestinal submucosa regenerated canine bladder.We subjected 15-month bladder strips to in vitro muscle bath compliance, contractility testing and immunohistochemical staining.Compliance studies demonstrated no significant difference between control bladders, which were 30-fold more compliant than native submucosal graft material. Contractility contractile responses innervation similar those of normal bladder. Afferent nerves through techniques.These characteristics...

alpha1-Adrenergic receptor (alpha1AR) antagonists are effective for relieving obstructive and irritative symptoms in patients with bladder outlet obstruction. While the alpha1aAR is responsible prostate smooth muscle relaxation obstruction relief, to our knowledge mechanisms underlying relief of remain be determined. Therefore, we investigated by which alpha1AR subtypes may involved this process.We studied 42 rats, including 6 unoperated controls, 17 sham operated controls 19 obstructed...

The effects of 3 competitive N‐methyl‐ d ‐aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists, LY274614, LY233536 and LY235723, on the micturition reflex external urethral sphincter EMG activity, were examined either under isovolumetric conditions or during continuous filling cystometry in urethane‐anaesthetized (1.2 g kg −1 , s.c.) rats. Intravenous administration LY274614 (3–30 mg ) inhibited a dose‐dependent fashion both bladder activity intact In addition, volume threshold for inducing was increased...
