Effects of a non‐selective COX inhibitor and selective COX‐2 inhibitors on contractility of human and porcine ureters<i>in vitro</i>and<i>in vivo</i>

Abstract

Selective COX-2 inhibitors decrease the contractility of non-obstructed, but not obstructed, ureters of the pig in vivo, but have a minimal effect on electrically-induced contractions of human ureters in vitro.
