Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The roles of estrogen receptor α (ERα) in stress urinary incontinence (SUI) remain elusive. This study was conducted to understand the molecular mechanism of ERα against SUI. METHODS: Wild-type (ERα(+/+)) and ACTB-cre ERα knockout (ERα(-/-)) female mice were generated. Urethral function and protein expression were measured. Leak point pressures (LPP) and maximum urethral closure pressure (MUCP) were...
