## Abstract ## Aims We investigated the effects of bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) on the distribution of interstitial cells (ICs) in the guineaβpig bladder. ## Methods Bladder overactivity of BOO animals was validated with urodynamic studies. Immunohistochemical analyses for Kit and vimentin a
The urinary bladder depends on intracellular ATP to support a number of essential intracellular processes including contraction. The concentration of ATP is maintained by mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, cytosolic glycolysis and the cytosolic activity of creatine kinase, the enzyme that cata
In order to identify the passive properties of the bladder during filling, we measured cystometrograms (CMGs) of rat urinary bladders that had been outlet obstructed for 6 weeks and age-matched controls in conscious, unrestrained animals and in fully relaxed whole bladders in an organ bath. In the o
