| 8 weeks, n = 8 | 0.85 ± 0.08 | 0.76 ± 0.06 | 0.09 ± 0.04 | 10.83 ± 1.18 | 25.92 ± 2.6 | 37.05 ± 3.36 | 0.7 ± 0.07a |
Age-matched controls revealed no differences and were subsequently grouped together as controls.
a
Significant compared with controls.
b
Significant compared with 8 weeks animals.
c
Significant compared with 4 weeks animals (p < 0.05).
Bcap, bladder capacity; MV, micturition volume; RV, residual volume; BP, basal pressure; TP, threshold pressure; MP, micturition pressure.
