Comparisons of urinary bladder responses to common antimuscarinics reveals unique effects of darifenacin [PDF]
Frontiers in PhysiologyIntroductionAntimuscarinics are the first-line pharmaceutical treatment for overactive bladder (OAB). However, some literature suggests that responses to these antimuscarinics can influence a variety of non-muscarinic receptors.

Vasoactivity of Rac GTPase, Cytohesin and Kinase Inhibitors in Renal Interlobar and Coronary Arteries Reveals Shared and Distinct Patterns of Inhibitory Effects in Vascular and Prostate Smooth Muscle Contraction. [PDF]
Pharmacol Res PerspectABSTRACT Inhibition of vasocontraction accounts for side effects in treating voiding symptoms in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). We examined the vasoactivity of compounds previously showing inhibition of prostate smooth muscle contraction. Contractions of porcine renal interlobar and coronary arteries were induced by agonists or electric field ...

KV7 Channel Expression and Function Within Rat Mesenteric Endothelial Cells
Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 Background and Purpose: Arterial diameter is dictated by the contractile state of the vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), which is modulated by direct and indirect inputs from endothelial cells (ECs).

A Cholinergic Synaptically Triggered Event Participates in the Generation of Persistent Activity Necessary for Eye Fixation [PDF]
, 2004 An exciting topic regarding integrative properties of the nervous system is how transient motor commands or brief sensory stimuli are able to evoke persistent neuronal changes, mainly as a sustained, tonic action potential firing.
