Aims To investigate the role of nerve growth factor (NGF) in lower urinary tract dysfunction in
mice with spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods Using 4‐week SCI mice, single‐filling cystometry …

Purpose: We investigated the effects of intrathecal application of nerve growth factor (NGF)
antibodies (NGF-Abs) and desensitization of C-fiber afferent pathways by capsaicin …

Nerve growth factor (NGF) is reportedly involved in the changes in C-fiber bladder afferent
pathways that induce detrusor overactivity (DO) following spinal cord injury (SCI). This study …

Nerve growth factor (NGF) has been proposed as an important mediator inducing bladder
overactivity under pathological conditions such as spinal cord injury, bladder outlet …

We investigated the involvement of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in bladder and
urethral dysfunction using spinal cord-injured mice. We evaluated bladder and urethral …

Background Exogenous NGF or saline was delivered to the detrusor smooth muscle of
female rats for a two-week period using osmotic mini-pumps. We then determined:(1) …

Aims We examined the time course of urodynamic changes and the effect of the short or
long‐term inhibition of brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) from the early phase after …

New Findings What is the central question of this study? Nerve growth factor (NGF) is
reportedly a mediator inducing urinary bladder dysfunction. Is NGF directly involved in …

Purpose: The goal of this investigation was to examine the effect of immunity to nerve growth
factor (NGF) on alterations in sensory nerves from the urinary bladder in the dorsal root …

Purpose To examine (1) whether spinal cord injury (SCI) time-dependently increases the
severity of autonomic dysreflexia (AD) and expression levels of bladder nerve growth factor …
