Figure 5From: Removal of urothelium affects bladder contractility and release of ATP but not release of NO in rat urinary bladder Effect of carbachol (50 μM) on ATP (A) and NO (B) release in intact and swabbed bladder strips. Carbachol significantly increased ATP release over the baseline in intact (*P < 0.05) but not in swabbed preparations (P > 0.05). Similarly NO release was significantly higher in intact preparations but did not change in swabbed strips (P > 0.05).Back to article page
