## Abstract ## Aim To determine if tamsulosin treatment prevents or decreases the incidence and severity of outlet obstructionβinduced bladder dysfunction in rabbits. ## Materials and Methods Male New Zealand White rabbits were treated with tamsulosin or vehicle for 4 weeks with treatments initi

Partial outlet obstruction has been shown to result in contractile and metabolic dysfunctions. Specifically, there is a greater reduction in the response to field stimulation (FS) in comparison with the responses to bethanechol and KCl, a greater reduction in the tonic response to stimulation in com
The effects of chronic partial outflow obstruction in rats were investigated. The urethra of male rats was partially obstructed for 3 or 6 months and bladder function was compared with that of age-matched controls. Bladder function was studied in vivo by infusion cystometry and in vitro by measuring
Bladder outlet obstruction induces severe changes in urinary bladder function and metabolism. These changes are characterized by significant reductions in the ability of the in vitro whole bladder to generate pressure and to empty. Metabolically, partial outlet obstruction induces a shift from oxida
To test the hypothesis that the spinal control of micturition involves β£ 1 -adrenoceptors, the urodynamic effects of intrathecal and intraarterial β£ 1 -adrenoceptor blockade on apomorphine-induced bladder activity in rats were studied. Continuous cystometry was performed in conscious female Sprague-
