A pharmacological study using monkeys, in which parkinsonism was induced by 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP), was undertaken to elucidate the mechanism underlying urinary bladder dysfunctions in Parkinson's disease. Under ketamine anesthesia, cystometrograms showed that, in MPTP-treated monkeys, a contraction of the urinary bladder was induced with smaller bladder volume than that in normal monkeys. In MPTP-treated monkeys, subcutaneously injected SKF 38393, a dopamine D1 receptor agonist, significantly increased the bladder volume and pressure thresholds for inducing the micturition reflex without affecting those in normal monkeys. In contrast, subcutaneous injections of quinpirole, a dopamine D2 receptor agonist, and apomorphine, a dopamine D1 and D2 receptor agonist, slightly, but significantly reduced the volume threshold of the bladder for the micturition reflex in both normal and MPTP-treated groups. These results indicate that, in parkinsonism, the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra leads to the detrusor hyperreflexia, probably due to a failure of activation of dopamine D1 receptors.

D010302 Parkinson Disease, Secondary Conditions which feature clinical manifestations resembling primary Parkinson disease that are caused by a known or suspected condition. Examples include parkinsonism caused by vascular injury, drugs, trauma, toxin exposure, neoplasms, infections and degenerative or hereditary conditions. Clinical features may include bradykinesia, rigidity, parkinsonian gait, and masked facies. In general, tremor is less prominent in secondary parkinsonism than in the primary form.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement.

D001058 Apomorphine A derivative of morphine that is a dopamine D2 agonist. It is a powerful emetic and has been used for that effect in acute poisoning. It has also been used in the diagnosis and treatment of parkinsonism, but its adverse effects limit its use.
