| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The question has remained unanswered how the nocturia increases by getting old. Although, there are many influencing factors, some recent studies have suggested that the change of the biological clock causes the nocturia . Therefore the present study was undertaken in order to investigate whether the bladder body contraction by serotonin (5-HT) has influenced with aging in experimental animal. 5-HT is a precursor of the melatonin that is maintaining the biological clock, and it has been reported that the 5-HT-induced contraction has increased in the overactive bladder. Our results suggested that the 5-HT-induced contraction has changed in aged bladder, moreover the mechanism can change.
