Effect of hormones on urethral sensitivity to phenylephrine in normal and incontinent dogs. 1983

K E Creed

The effects of stilboestrol and progesterone on pressure responses of the urethra to the alpha-adrenergic agonist, phenylephrine, were investigated in normal and incontinent ovariectomised dogs. It was found that progesterone had no significant effect on normal dogs but after pretreatment with stilboestrol the dose response curve was shifted to the left so that one third to one eighth of the original dose of phenylephrine produced the same response. In incontinent animals the sensitivity to phenylephrine was reduced compared with normal animals and stilboestrol either had no effect or only partially restored normal sensitivity. These results suggest that incontinence may result in part from decreased effectiveness of adrenergic innervation to the urethra.

D009130 Muscle, Smooth Unstriated and unstriped muscle, one of the muscles of the internal organs, blood vessels, hair follicles, etc. Contractile elements are elongated, usually spindle-shaped cells with centrally located nuclei. Smooth muscle fibers are bound together into sheets or bundles by reticular fibers and frequently elastic nets are also abundant.

D011374 Progesterone The major progestational steroid that is secreted primarily by the CORPUS LUTEUM and the PLACENTA. Progesterone acts on the UTERUS, the MAMMARY GLANDS and the BRAIN. It is required in EMBRYO IMPLANTATION; PREGNANCY maintenance, and the development of mammary tissue for MILK production. Progesterone, converted from PREGNENOLONE, also serves as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of GONADAL STEROID HORMONES and adrenal CORTICOSTEROIDS.

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.

D004054 Diethylstilbestrol A synthetic nonsteroidal estrogen used in the treatment of menopausal and postmenopausal disorders. It was also used formerly as a growth promoter in animals. According to the Fourth Annual Report on Carcinogens (NTP 85-002, 1985), diethylstilbestrol has been listed as a known carcinogen.
