Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study investigated the significance of Nrf2 in the bladder ischemic mouse model. The administration of L-NAME to C57BL/6 mice for 1 week resulted in the decreased blood flow in the bladder, increased Nrf2 expression, oxidative stress and inflammation in the bladder, and frequent micturition. Meanwhile, these damages were suppressed in the Nrf2 knock-out mice. Taken together, Nrf2 plays a protective role in the pathogenesis of ischemic overactive bladder.
