Alteration of urothelial-mediated tone in the ischemic bladder: role of eicosanoidsKazem M Azadzoi
Urology Research 151, Boston University School of Medicine and VA Boston Medical Center, 150 South Huntington Avenue, Boston, MA 02130, USA
Neurourol Urodyn 23:258-64. 2004..Previously we showed that ischemia alters bladder smooth muscle contractility in the rabbit. This study investigates the role of urothelium and eicosanoid-release in ischemic bladder smooth muscle instability...
Effect of chronic ischemia on constitutive and inducible nitric oxide synthase expression in erectile tissueKazem M Azadzoi
Boston University School of Medicine, Boston, Massachusetts, USA

Increased leukotriene and prostaglandin release, and overactivity in the chronically ischemic bladderKazem M Azadzoi
Department of Urology, Boston University School of Medicine, Boston, MA, USA
J Urol 169:1885-91. 2003..PGs modulate smooth muscle contractility in the healthy bladder. However, under ischemic conditions leukotrienes dominate bladder tone and appear to have a leading role in increased smooth muscle contraction and bladder overactivity...
