Clinical import of beta-adrenergic activity in the proximal urethra

The Journal of Urology
M S RaoS Vaidyanathan

Abstract

Beta-adrenergic activity of the proximal urethra was studied in 11 patients. Maximum urethral pressure was recorded before, and 20 and 60 minutes after the intravenous administration of 0.5 mg. orciprenaline sulfate. There was a 40 per cent or more decrease in the maximum urethral pressure in 6 of the 11 patients. Beta-adrenoreceptor agonists could prove useful in facilitating vesical emptying by reducing urethral resistance in patients with neurogenic bladder dysfunction.

Adrenergic Receptors: Trafficking

Adrenergic receptor trafficking is an active physiological process where adrenergic receptors are relocated from one region of the cell to another or from one type of cell to another. Discover the latest research on adrenergic receptor trafficking here.
