Loss of Muscarinic and Purinergic Receptors in Urinary Bladder of Rats With Hydrochloric Acid-induced Cystitis
Objectives To clarify the basic mechanism involved in the pathophysiology of cystitis by characterizing the urodynamic parameters, pharmacologically relevant (muscarinic and purinergic) receptors, and the in vivo release of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in the bladder of hydrochloric acid (HCl)-treat...

Summary: | Objectives To clarify the basic mechanism involved in the pathophysiology of cystitis by characterizing the urodynamic parameters, pharmacologically relevant (muscarinic and purinergic) receptors, and the in vivo release of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in the bladder of hydrochloric acid (HCl)-treated rats. Methods The muscarinic and purinergic receptors in rat tissue were measured by radioreceptor assays using (N-methyl-3 H) scopolamine methyl chloride ([3 H]NMS) and αβ-methylene-ATP (2,8-3 H) tetrasodium salt ([3 H]αβ-MeATP), respectively. The urodynamic parameters and ATP levels were measured using a cystometric method and the luciferin-luciferase assay, respectively. Results In the HCl-treated rats, the micturition interval and micturition volume were significantly (48% and 55%, respectively, P |
