Parameters of bladder activity in transvesical CMGs after serial administration of vehicle, 8-OH-DPAT, and WAY-100635 in urethane-anesthetized rats

VT, ml CA, cmH2O CD, min RV, ml VE, %
Vehicle (n = 18) 0.73 ± 0.14 32.92 ± 6.38 0.40 ± 0.10 0.17 ± 0.05 71.6 ± 12.9
Agonist (8-OH-DPAT; 0.3 mg/kg) 0.52 ± 0.13* 26.66 ± 4.89* 0.47 ± 0.11 0.06 ± 0.03 86.1 ± 10.6
Antagonist (WAY-100635; 0.1 mg/kg) 1.55 ± 0.36* 36.74 ± 6.47 0.36 ± 0.10 1.05 ± 0.31* 29.3 ± 22.9*

Values are means ± SE. 8-OH-DPAT, 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)-tetralin; CMGs, cystometrograms; VT, volume threshold; CA, contraction amplitude; CD, contraction duration; RV, residual volume; VE, voiding efficiency = VT − RV/VT;

*

P < 0.05 indicates a statistically significant difference compared with vehicle treatment (post hoc least significance difference test).

P < 0.05 indicates a statistically significant difference compared with 8-OH-DPAT treatment (post hoc least significance difference test).
