This study was performed to determine whether the antianginal drug nicorandil relaxes isolated human detrusor muscle. Ten strips of muscle obtained from 10 pediatric patients who underwent surgery on urinary bladder were contracted with 80 mM potassium chloride (KCl) before and after incubation four concentrations (100, 200, 400 800 microM). The percent inhibition by height area under curve (AUC) KCl-induced contractions calculated. effect glibenclamide (10 microM) (800 microM)-induced also...
