✦ Synopsis


A method is described to record bladder smooth muscle action potential (AP) data and subsequently in digitized form analyze the constitutive elements of the AP. Manipulation of digitized data can give accurate descriptive information on the AP configuration and kinetics. In the future this type of analysis will hopefully lead to more precise, quantitative information on changes in the smooth muscle AP kinetics with disease states and facilitate a clearer understanding of the pathophysiological processes underlying changes in detrusor contractility.

We studied the bladders of 24-month-old intact rats, rats that had been ovariectomized at the age of 6 months, and intact and ovariectomized rats treated by estrogen from the age of 16 months. The study thus comprized four groups: group I: bilaterally ovariectomized rats; group II: intact rats; grou

Phosphodiesterases (PDEs) are key enzymes involved in the regulation of intracellular cyclic nucleotide metabolism. The aim of the present study was to identify and to characterize the PDE isoenzymes present in the human detrusor smooth muscle. Human detrusor PDE isoenzymes were separated by Q-Sepha
