We investigated the role that nonpeptidergic isolectin-B4 (IB4) positive, primary afferent
sprouting plays in bladder dysfunction after spinal cord transection (SCT). Rats were …

BACKGROUND: Autonomous contractile activity (ACA) is a well-known phenomenon in
isolated bladders from different species and seems to be important in the physiology of both …

Micturition is coordinated at the level of the spinal cord and the brainstem. Spinal cord injury
therefore directly interrupts spinal neuronal pathways to the brainstem and results in bladder …

In order to clarify the functional role of the isolectin B4 (IB4)‐binding afferent pathway in the
micturition reflex, we investigated the effects on bladder activity of intrathecal application of …

Objectives. To determine the feasibility of urodynamic monitoring of voiding function in
conscious, female spinal cord-injured (SCI) rats and to compare the voiding function in SCI …

Patients with suprasacral spinal cord injury usually exhibit severe lower urinary tract
dysfunction, which is generally attributed to loss of supraspinal input to the spinal micturition …

Alterations in the expression of growth-associated protein 43 (GAP-43) were examined in
lower urinary tract micturition reflex pathways 6 or 8 weeks following complete spinal cord …

Objective To compare the effect of complete transection (tSCI) and contusion spinal cord
injury (cSCI) on bladder function and bladder wall structure in rats. Materials and Methods A …

We investigated the effects of intrathecal application of GABAA-or GABAB-receptor agonists
on detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia (DSD) in spinal cord transection (SCT) rats. Adult female …

Purpose: We investigated the effects of intrathecal application of γ-aminobutyric acid A and
B receptor agonists on detrusor overactivity in spinal cord injured rats. Materials and …
