The goal of these studies was to examine the potential utility of bladder instilled K+channel gene therapy with hSlo cDNA (i.e., the maxi-K channel) to ameliorate bladder overactivity in a rat model of partial urinary outlet obstruction. Twenty-two f

Modulation of the sexual behavior of male rats by the anxiolytic buspirone (S-20499) and its analog gepirone were compared to the effects of 8-OH-DPAT (or DPAT, a selective 5-HT1A reference agonist), and BMY-7378 (a selective 5-HT1A partial agonist).

Chagas' disease, caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, is an important cause of heart disease in Latin America. T. cruzi-induced microvascular compromise, in turn, is thought to play a major role in chagasic heart disease. Previous in vitro studies have impli

The Ca2+-sensitive K+channel (maxi-K+) is an important modulator of corporal smooth muscle tone. The goal of these studies was twofold: 1) to determine the feasibility of transfecting corporal smooth muscle cells in vivo with the hSlo cDNA, which enc

To evaluate the utility of forskolin as a potentially novel intracavernous therapy.Forskolin- and prostaglandin E1 (PGE1)-induced intracorporal pressure changes were evaluated in vivo by cavernosometry performed on 2 male mongrel dogs, while systemic

Intracavernous pharmacotherapy relies heavily on the use of vasoactive agents which act by increasing intracellular cAMP levels in human corpus cavernosum smooth muscle. Yet little is known about the cAMP generating system in this tissue, and how it

Kinetic studies were conducted on the contractile response elicited by phenylephrine (PE) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) activation of the α 1 -adrenergic- and 5-HT 2 receptor subtypes, respectively, in aortic rings isolated from streptozotocin (STZ

Kinetic and steady-state protocols were used to examine the effects of disruption of intercellular communication with heptanol, on contractile responses elicited by activation of the alpha 1-adrenergic receptor in human corporal vascular smooth muscl
