Contractile dysfunction in the vas deferens from the α1-adrenoceptor triple KO mouse (α1-AR triple-KO). (a and b) Contractile tension in response to NA or α-β-mATP in the vas deferens from α1-AR triple-KO mice. Contractions in response to NA were not observed in the vas deferens from α1-AR triple-KO mice and were partially attenuated in α1A-AR KO mice, while contractions in response to α-β-mATP were enhanced in α1-AR triple-KO mice. (d) Expression levels of various receptor genes in sexual glands from α1-AR triple-KO mice. *P<0.05, **P<0.01, vs WT mice and #P<0.05, ##P<0.01 vs α1A-AR KO mice. α1-AR triple-KO, α1-adrenoceptor triple KO; α-β-mATP, α-β-methylene ATP; KO, knockout; NA, noradrenaline; WT, wild type.
