| Abstract | 1. In the presence of atropine (1 microM) and guanethidine (3 microM), electrical field stimulation (EFS) of the rat isolated urinary bladder for 30 s induced a frequency-dependent (1-30 Hz) nonadrenergic non-cholinergic (NANC) triphasic contraction characterized by a peak response (within 10 s from onset of stimulation), a late response (determined as the tension developed at the end of the stimulation period) and a prolonged post-stimulus 'off' response. The latter peaked at 2-6 min from the end of the stimulation period. At 10 Hz, the amplitude of the three responses averaged 89 +/- 6, 76 +/- 6 and 18 +/- 3% of the response to 40 mM KCl, respectively. Tetrodotoxin (1 microM) abolished all contractile responses to EFS. 2. In capsaicin-pretreated bladder strips (10 microM for 15 min) the amplitude of the peak response to EFS (1-30 Hz for 30 s) was unchanged, the 'late' response to EFS was significantly reduced as compared to controls, and the post-stimulus response was absent, being replaced by a transient relaxation. 3. When varying train duration from 1 to 120 s at a frequency of 10 Hz, the differences between control and capsaicin-treated strips became evident for periods of stimulation > 10 s. 4. The tachykinin NK1 receptor antagonist, SR 140,333 (0.1-1 microM) had no effect on the peak response to EFS (10 Hz for 30 s) while it decreased significantly the late response at both concentrations tested (16 +/- 3 and 33 +/- 3% inhibition). At 1 micro M, SR 140,333 also significantly reduced (29 +/- 9% inhibition)the peak of the post-stimulus contraction. The tachykinin NK2 receptor antagonist, MEN 10,627(0. 1-1 9 MicroM) had no significant effect on the peak response to EFS (10 Hz for 30 s), and decreased the late response at 1 MicroM only (32 +/- 4% inhibition). MEN 10,627 inhibited the post-stimulus response at both concentrations tested and almost abolished it at 1 MicroM.5. The combined administration of SR 140,333 and MEN 10,627 (1 MicroM each) produced a small reduction(22 +/- 3% inhibition) of the peak response to EFS, a marked reduction (48 +/- 3% inhibition) of the late response and the abolition of the post-stimulus response which was replaced by a post-stimulus relaxation as observed in capsaicin-pretreated strips.6. SR 140,333 (0.1 and 1.0 MicroM) produced a large rightward shift in the concentration-response curve tothe NKI receptor agonist, [Sar9]substance P sulphone (apparent pKB 8.97 +/- 0.14), without affecting the response to the NK2 receptor-selective agonist, [Beta Ala8]neurokinin A (4-10). MEN 10,627 (0.1 and 1 MicroM)produced a large rightward shift of the concentration-response curve to [Beta Ala8]neurokinin A (4-10)(apparent pKB 8.95 +/- 0.16) without affecting the response to [Sarl substance P sulphone. SR 140,333 and MEN 10,627 (1.0 MicroM each) did not affect the contraction produced by exogenous ATP (1 mM).7. These findings provide evidence that the NANC contraction of the rat isolated urinary bladder to transmural nerve stimulation has two components, which are sharply differentiated by blockade of the efferent function of sensory nerves following in vitro capsaicin administration. The first component,probably mediated by endogenous ATP, is fully activated during short periods of nerve activity (< 10 s)and does not involve capsaicin-sensitive nerve afferents. The second component, which is capsaicin sensitive and tachykinin-mediated, is evident as a late 'on' response during nerve stimulation and as a post-stimulus 'off response for periods of stimulation >lOs. Activation of both NK1 and NK2receptors contributes to the capsaicin-sensitive responses. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
