Popis: Aims To assess the urodynamic effects of soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC) stimulator, BAY 41-2272, and activator, BAY 60-2770, (which both are able to induce cGMP synthesis even in the absence of nitric oxide (NO)) alone or in combination with a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor, vardenafil, in a model of partial urethral obstruction (PUO) induced bladder overactivity (BO). Methods Fifty-six male Sprague–Dawley rats were used, 31 of them underwent PUO. Fourteen rats were used for Western blots to assess PDE5 and sGC expression. For drug evaluation cystometry without anesthesia was performed three days following bladder catheterization. Results Obstructed rats showed higher micturition frequency and bladder pressures than non-obstructed animals (Intermicturition Interval, IMI, 2.28 ± 0.55 vs. 3.60 ± 0.60 min (± standard deviation, SD); maximum micturition pressure, MMP, 70.1 ± 8.0 vs. 48.8 ± 7.2 cmH2O; both P
