Abstract
The effect of atropine on the isometric contractile response of isolated human detrusor muscle strips to electrical field stimulation has been studied. A 94.1% reduction in the response in the presence of tetrodotoxin demonstrated the neuronal nature of the stimulus. Atropine caused a 92.7% inhibition of the response. It was concluded that the nerve-mediated stimulus in human detrusor is cholinergic in nature and that "atropine resistance" does not occur in man.Entities:
