Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Hyperactive voiding and elevated smooth muscle NGF output are traits of the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR). Elevated target-derived NGF is associated with hypertension and hyperactive voiding in SHRs. In the present study, we tested for possible genetic links between hypertension, hyperactive voiding and augmented bladder smooth muscle cell (BSMC) NGF secretion. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We crossed...
