Role of prostatic interstitial cells in prostate motility
The prostate is a gland whose secretions contribute to the seminal fluids ejaculated upon activation of autonomic sympathetic nerves. In elder males, the prostate undergoes an increase in stroma mass and myogenic tone, leading to benign prostatic hyperplasia that occludes the proximal urethra and the presentation of various lower urinary tract symptoms that decrease their quality of life. This ...
متن کاملOrigin of spontaneous rhythmicity in smooth muscle.
Rhythmic electrical activity is a feature of most smooth muscles but the mechanical consequences can vary from regular rapid phasic contractions to sustained contracture. For many years it was thought that spontaneous electrical activity originated in smooth muscle cells but recently it has become apparent that there are specialized pacemaker cells in many organs that are morphologically and fu...

متن کاملInvolvement of Na(+)-leak channel in substance P-induced depolarization of pacemaking activity in interstitial cells of Cajal.
Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) are the pacemaking cells in the gastrointestinal muscles that generate the rhythmic oscillations in membrane potential known as slow waves. ICCs also mediate or transduce inputs from the enteric nervous system. Substance P (SubP) is a member of the family of mammalian tachykinin peptides that are predominantly released by enteric neurons. This study assessed t...
