Figure 6. Transient inhibitory effect of MTEP on isovolumetric rhythmic bladder contractions during saline distension.

Figure 6

After the MTEP is given (indicated by arrow) a complete inhibition of bladder contractions is observed in all cats at different doses. The inhibition lasted longer than the 10–15 min observation period (n = 5). In two cats the inhibition was monitored until contractions returned indicating a recovery period of about 30 min (see the second trace).
