Effects of the beta 3-adrenergic receptor agonist disodium 5-[(2R)-2-[[(2R)-2-(3-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxyethyl]amino]propyl]-1,3-benzodioxole-2,2-dicarboxylate (CL-316243) on bladder micturition reflex in spontaneously hypertensive rats
Abstract
The present study investigated whether beta3-adrenoceptor activation acts on the bladder afferent pathway by examination of the visceromotor reflex (VMR) and pressor responses to urinary bladder distension (UBD) and whether beta3-adrenoceptor activation produces urinary bladder relaxation in hyperactive spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) in comparison with their normotensive control rats [Wistar-Kyoto (WKY)]. Using the VMR responses to noxious UBD as a measure of bladder afferent signal transmission, SHRs did not present a sensitized bladder phenotype. However, reduced bladder compliance accompanied by a reduced void threshold was detected in the SHR detrusor. Furthermore, the selective beta3-adrenoceptor agonist disodium 5-[(2R)-2-[[(2R)-2-(3-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxyethyl]-amino]propyl]-1,3-benzodioxole-2,2-dicarboxylate (CL-316243) (i.v.) failed to attenuate VMR or pressor responses to UBD in either SHRs or WKY rats, but it dose-dependently inhibited rhythmic contraction (RC) in SHRs. The minimal effective dose was 0.001 mg/kg. Using the same model in WKY rats, CL-316243 did not elicit significant inhibition of contractions in the bladder RC assay. These results suggest that SHRs represent abnormal efferent/detrusor functi...Continue Reading

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.
Allergy and Asthma
Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
