Comparison of body and bladder weight

Group	Control	PBOO + P	PBOO + T
Body, g	23.7 ± 0.4	22.8 ± 0.4	23.6 ± 0.4
Bladder, mg	21.2 ± 0.8	34.5 ± 1.8*	28.2 ± 2.2*†
Relative bladder weight, %control	100 ± 3	169 ± 8*	135 ± 11*†

Values represent means ± SE. Partial bladder outlet obstruction (PBOO) caused a significant increase in bladder weight, while 17-DMAG treatment ameliorated the bladder enlargement. No change was observed in the body weight among groups. P, placebo; T, treatment.

^*P < 0.05, vs. control group;

^†P < 0.05, PBOO + P vs. PBOO + T groups.
