Role of PKC and CaV1.2 in detrusor overactivity in a model of obesity associated with insulin resistance in mice.
Obesity/metabolic syndrome are common risk factors for overactive bladder. This study aimed to investigate the functional and molecular changes of detrusor smooth muscle (DSM) in high-fat insulin resistant obese mice, focusing on the role of protein kinase C (PKC) and Ca(v)1.2 in causing bladder dys...

Carbachol (0.001-100 µM), α,β-methylene ATP (1-10 µM), KCl (1-300 mM), extracellular Ca(2+) (0.01-100 mM) and phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu; 0.001-3 µM) all produced greater DSM contractions in obese mice, which were fully reversed by the Ca(v)1.2 blocker amlodipine.
