Cholinergic and non-cholinergic components of the inotropism evoked by electric field stimulation in the isolated rat urinary bladder. Influence of some eicosanoids
The present study explores whether some arachidonic acid (AA) metabolites formed via cyclo-oxygenase or lipoxygenase pathways influence the inotropism of isolated rat urinary bladders evoked by electric field stimulation (EFS), both in presence of or in absence of atropine. The EFS consisted in squa...
