Inhibition of spontaneous contractile activity in isolated human detrusor muscle strips by vasoactive intestinal
British Journal of Urology
|February 1, 1985
Abstract:
In a study of 75 isolated human detrusor muscle strips, spontaneous contractions and an associated sustained rise in basal tension were observed in 43 (57%). Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) caused significant reductions in the frequency and amplitude of spontaneous contractions and a fall in basal tension. The results suggest that VIP may have a role as an inhibitor of spontaneous activity in the human detrusor.
