- FV – intact free voiding rats. FV+BTX – botulinum toxin prepared rats. EMG abd – ratio of rectus abdominis voiding-associated EMG intensity to baseline. EMG peri – ratio of perineal voiding-associated EMG intensity to baseline. ICI – intercontraction interval (minutes). VV – per-void volume (ml). Qave – average voiding urine flow rate (ml/sec). BP – blood pressure. VVR – voiding-associated viscerovascular reflex. Values are means, with standard error of measurement (SEM). Statistical comparisons made by t-test, p < 0.05 significant.
