| Research Abstract |
Bladder dysfunction in a rat model caused by acute urinary retention(AUR) needs more than two weeks of recovery period, and within two weeks of induction of AUR these rats may be used as a rat overactive bladder(OAB) model. A radical scavenger, edaravone reduces the oxidative stress and prevents the bladder dysfunction caused by AUR and subsequent catheterization. K_<ATP> channel openers, nicorandil and cromakalim prevent AUR-induced bladder dysfunction via activation of K_<ATP> channels with subsequent decrease in oxidative stress and decreased induction of apoptosis. Chronic administration of a K_<ATP> channel opener, nicorandil, anα_<1A>-blocker, silodosin, and a Rho kinase inhibitor, fasdil ameliorate hypertension-related bladder dysfunction in the SHR via improvement of bladder blood flow.
