Purpose: Spontaneous phasic contractions of the guinea pig prostate stroma result from the
generation of slow waves that appear to primarily rely on spontaneous Ca2+ release from …

PURPOSE: We characterized spontaneous electrical activity in the aging guinea pig
prostate. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Membrane potential recordings were made using …

Purpose: We characterized the electrical events underlying spontaneous contractions of the
stroma of the guinea pig prostate. Materials and Methods: Membrane potential of the stroma …

Purpose: We investigated whether prostate interstitial cells generate spontaneous Ca2+
oscillation, a proposed mechanism underlying pacemaker potentials to drive spontaneous …

Purpose: We characterized the electrical events recorded in small segments of the dorsal
lobe of the prostate of immature male guinea pigs and examined some mechanisms …

Background and purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the role of different K+
channel populations and the inhibitory effect of various exogenously applied K+ channel …

Background and purpose: Changes in smooth muscle tone of the prostate gland are
involved in aetiology of symptomatic prostatic hyperplasia, however the control mechanisms …

The prostate is a gland whose secretions contribute to the seminal fluids ejaculated upon
activation of autonomic sympathetic nerves. In elder males, the prostate undergoes an …

Purpose: We characterized membrane ionic currents underlying the action potential in
single myocytes freshly isolated from the stroma of the guinea pig prostate. Material and …

The cellular mechanisms that underlie the initiation, maintenance and propagation of
electrical activity in the prostate gland remain little understood. Intracellular microelectrode …
