Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Nocturia is a major problem in geriatric patients. Clock genes regulate circadian bladder function and Piezo type mechanosensitive ion channel component 1 (Piezo1) that senses bladder fullness. We utilized WT and Clock mutant (ClockΔ19/Δ19: nocturia phenotype) mice to determine if the effects of GsMTx4, a Piezo1 inhibitor, is dependent on circadian Piezo1 expression in the bladder. METHODS: We...
