Background
Many elderly men suffer from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Recently, chronic ischemia in the prostate has been suggested to be related to BPH. Thus, the impact of chronic ischemia on the development of prostatic hyperplasia and the efficacy of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor for hyperplasia were evaluated in a rat model with chronic ischemia induced by local atherosclerosis...
Aims
To explore the role of luteinizing hormone (LH) in the urinary continence mechanism, urethral function was investigated using a postmenopausal rat model with high serum LH concentrations and the postmenopausal rat model given a gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist to lower LH concentrations.
Methods
Adult female rats were divided into: 1) sham group; 2) ovariectomy group (OVX)...
We report in this article a new method for in vivo oxygen measurement using green fluorescence protein (GFP). COS7 cells were transiently transfected with an expression vector, pCMX-GFP, using a polyethylenimine reagent and cultured for 48 hrs. After exposure of the cell to anoxic gas (O2<.001%), a 1 min illumination of the cell to strong 470–490 nm light evoked a significant red fluorescence (excitation...
