ALTERATIONS IN THE NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHASE BINDING SITES AND NON-ADRENERGIC, NON-CHOLINERGIC MEDIATED SMOOTH MUSCLE RELAXATION IN THE DIABETIC RABBIT BLADDER OUTLET: POSSIBLE RELEVANCE TO THE PATHOGENESIS OF DIABETIC CYSTOPATHY

Abstract

Alterations of both the NOS binding sites and functional responses to NANC nerve stimulation suggest that NO may have a pathophysiological role in the urinary bladder dysfunction associated with DM.
