Tadalafil ameliorates bladder overactivity by restoring insulin-activated detrusor relaxation via the bladder mucosal IRS/PI3K/AKT/eNOS pathway in fructose-fed rats
Abstract The pathophysiologies of metabolic syndrome (MS) and overactive bladder (OAB) might overlap. Using fructose-fed rats (FFRs) as a rodent model of MS we investigated the effects of tadalafil (a phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor) on the dysregulated insulin signalling in the bladder mucosa an...
