The effect of caffeine on uretheral motility
Investigative Urology
|September 1, 1977
Abstract:
An in vivo ureteral perfusion technique combined with a recently described methodology was used to study the effects of caffeine on ureteral motility patterns. Effects of the drug on the disused ureteric stump were also noted. The results showed a dose-related inhibition to complete cessation of peristalsis. Proposed mechanisms of caffeine effect on the ureter are discussed.
