Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The purpose of the present study was to investigate morphological changes in bladder smooth muscle of rats with partial outlet obstruction. We investigated smooth muscle cell phenotypic changes and implication of synthetic phenotype in contractility decrease and bladder compliance after bladder outlet obstruction. METHODS: Partial bladder outlet obstruction was introduced in female rats. Bladder were...
