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.

Urinary cholesterol in cancer screening [PDF]
Cholesterol determinations in morning urine samples were taken in 235 selected patients with a positive test for microscopic hematuria. Values ranged from 0.2 to 76.0 mg (median 5.5) in 23 patients with urologic malignancies and from 0.1 to 33.4 mg ...

Urinary ATP as an indicator of infection and inflammation of the urinary tract in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP) is a neurotransmitter and inflammatory cytokine implicated in the pathophysiology of lower urinary tract disease. ATP additionally reflects microbial biomass thus has potential as a surrogate marker of urinary

Urinary proteomics to support diagnosis of stroke [PDF]
Accurate diagnosis in suspected ischaemic stroke can be difficult. We explored the urinary proteome in patients with stroke (n = 69), compared to controls (n = 33), and developed a biomarker model for the diagnosis of stroke.

Association Between Urinary Catecholamine Excretion and Urine Volume [PDF]
AbstractSeveral confounders must be considered in the evaluation of urinary catecholamine excretion. However, literature is contradictory about potential confounders. The aim of the present study was to assess correlations between catecholamine excretion and anthropometric or clinical parameters with special attention to urine volume. A total of 967 24-
