Figure 2From: Removal of urothelium affects bladder contractility and release of ATP but not release of NO in rat urinary bladder Representative tracing of contractile response of intact (A) and swabbed (B) bladder strips. The strips were electrically stimulated and carbachol 50 μM, atropine 1 μM, and α, β meATP (50 μM) were sequentially added into the organ bath. Note that the amplitude of the contractions was smaller in the swabbed preparation.Back to article page
