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
## Abstract ## Aims To examine whether obstruction changes the expression of prostaglandins (PGs) in bladder, intravesical low‐dose aspirin could be used as a new route of drug administration, this way of administration influences PGs' expression, and contractile function of the bladder is protect
The aim of the present study was to measure mitochondrial function in the obstructed rat bladder, which does not seem to have impaired contractility in vivo. The animals were unoperated control rats and rats with a 12-day partial urinary outlet obstruction. The obstruction increased bladder weight 3
## Abstract ## Aims To investigate the concentration and activity of RhoA in detrusor and urothelium, as well as the effects of a Rho‐kinase inhibitor, Y‐27632 {(+)‐(R)‐trans‐4‐(1‐aminoethyl)‐N‐(4‐pyridyl) cyclohexanecarboxamide dihydrochloride}, on contraction of the pig urinary bladder. ## Meth
