It is well known that urethane is a suitable anesthetic for acute studies and has been extensively recommended for investigations related to micturition physiology. This is mainly because of the capability of urethane anesthesia to spare reflex micturition as well as its easily established long-last
Micturition can be characterized experimentally by monitoring both the frequency and volume of micturition. Previous studies demonstrated that the functional capacity of the rat and rabbit bladder, as determined by cystometry, is approximately equal to the maximal single micturition volume as record
SUMMARY: The effect of cromakalim on vascular reactivity was studied in rat isolated pulmonary arterial strips. Cromakalim ( \(0.1-1 \mu \mathrm{M})\) inhibited contractions induced by low \((20-30 \mathrm{mM}) \mathrm{KCl}\) concentrations in a concentrationdependent manner. It had no effect on tho
