α1L-adrenoceptors mediate contraction of human erectile tissue [PDF]
α1-adrenoceptor antagonists can impact upon sexual function and have potential in the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Human erectile tissue contains predominantly α1A-adrenoceptors, and here we examined whether contractions of this tissue are mediated

Identification of atropine-and P2X1 receptor antagonist-reistant, neurogenic contractions of the urinary bladder [PDF]
Acetylcholine and ATP are excitatory cotransmitters in parasympathetic nerves. We used P2X1 receptor antagonists to further characterize the purinergic component of neurotransmission in isolated detrusor muscle of guinea pig urinary bladder.
