EFS-induced contractions of SMBK−/− detrusor muscle are increased as compared to those of BK−/− detrusor muscle. (A) Representative original traces from WT and BK−/− (left panel) as well as Ctr and SM-BK−/− (right panel) detrusor muscle strips showing initial peak contraction followed by tonic contraction in response to EFS at frequencies of 1–30 Hz. (B) Statistics of peak contractions of detrusor muscle strips (WT, 18; BK−/−, 20; Ctr, 22; SMBK−/−, 21; n = 6–8 mice per genotype). Contractions were normalized to their maxima recorded at 30 Hz. WT/BK−/− and Ctr/SM-BK−/− mice (always F2 generation on an SV129 × C57Bl6 hybrid background) were of equivalent ages and were studied on the same occasion. All data are means ± SEM; *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01.
