To investigate the characteristics of adrenoceptors of the proximal urethra in female rabbits, we performed the in vitro isovolumetric urethral pressure study and isometric study with three parts of muscle strips of the proximal urethra (whole layers, inner layers and outer layers). Both alpha-1 and alpha-2 agonist caused dose dependent response in in vitro isovolumetric pressure study as well as in vivo study. However, the response of alpha-2 agonist in in vitro was small in magnitude compared to in vivo study, suggesting the influence of permeability of drugs from serosa to mucosa in in vitro whole urethra study. The response of the strips of inner layers to alpha-1 agonist is almost the same as that of outer layers and whole layers, while the response of inner layers to alpha-2 agonist is almost twice as that of other layers. These findings are suggestive of predominance of alpha-2 adrenoceptors mediating contractions in the inner layers of the proximal urethra in female rabbits. Alpha-2 adrenoceptors which probably are distributed in mucosal and submucosal layers may have an important role in the mechanism of urinary continence in female rabbits.

D007537 Isometric Contraction Muscular contractions characterized by increase in tension without change in length. Contraction, Isometric,Contractions, Isometric,Isometric Contractions
D009119 Muscle Contraction A process leading to shortening and/or development of tension in muscle tissue. Muscle contraction occurs by a sliding filament mechanism whereby actin filaments slide inward among the myosin filaments.

D011312 Pressure A type of stress exerted uniformly in all directions. Its measure is the force exerted per unit area. (McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 6th ed) Pressures
D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D011942 Receptors, Adrenergic, alpha One of the two major pharmacological subdivisions of adrenergic receptors that were originally defined by the relative potencies of various adrenergic compounds. The alpha receptors were initially described as excitatory receptors that post-junctionally stimulate SMOOTH MUSCLE contraction. However, further analysis has revealed a more complex picture involving several alpha receptor subtypes and their involvement in feedback regulation.

D011943 Receptors, Adrenergic, beta One of two major pharmacologically defined classes of adrenergic receptors. The beta adrenergic receptors play an important role in regulating CARDIAC MUSCLE contraction, SMOOTH MUSCLE relaxation, and GLYCOGENOLYSIS.
