Twenty-one โค-thalassemia major patients were included to study urinary zinc and copper excretion before and after high dose desferrioxamine (DF). The mean basal zinc excretion (1193.72 ยฑ 1079.64 g/24 hr) was higher than the mean zinc excretion observed in controls (427.6 ยฑ 74.37 g/24 hr) (P < 0.001)
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
