| Control | m-BOO | s-BOO | |
|---|---|---|---|
| n | 7 | 6 | 7 |
| BW, mg | 79.4 (3.62) | 281.5 (31.5)* | 798.4 (139.2)† |
| MVP, cmH2O | 24.9 (1.28) | 112.2 (9.45)† | 76.3 (9.29)†‡ |
| TP, cmH2O | 6.05 (0.65) | 6.54 (1.13) | 18.96 (4.08)*‡ |
| BP, cmH2O | 1.31 (0.72) | 2.79 (0.38) | 11.05 (2.98)*‡ |
| BC, ml | 0.83 (0.09) | 1.79 (0.31) | 9.26 (2.53)*‡ |
| VE, % | 89.0 (5.39) | 70.1 (6.79) | 50.1 (7.45)* |
m-BOO, mild bladder outlet obstruction; s-BOO, severe bladder outlet obstruction; BW, bladder weight; MVP, maximal voiding pressure; TP, threshold pressure; BP, baseline pressure; BC, bladder capacity; VE, voiding efficacy. Values are expressed as means ± SE.
