Abstract:A study was undertaken to determine the presence and distribution of alpha- and beta-adrenoceptors in the sheep bladder body and base. In the bladder body, noradrenaline and isoproterenol induced relaxation which was significantly inhibited by propranolol, pafenolol and butoxamine. In the presence of propranolol (10(-5) M), noradrenaline induced a small contraction, as well as phenylephrine, but B-HT 920 failed to cause any effect on the bladder body. In the bladder base, noradrenaline caused a contraction that was significantly inhibited by prazosin but not by yohimbine. Phenylephrine also induced a contractile response in this structure which was inhibited by prazosin. Isoproterenol caused a relaxation that was significantly inhibited by propranolol and pafenolol but not by butoxamine. Relaxation was mediated by both beta 1 and beta 2-adrenoceptors in the detrusor muscle and by beta 1-adrenoceptors in the bladder base. Alpha 1-adrenoceptors contributed to maintain the detrusor tone and contract the bladder base.
