Abstract:
The objective of the study was immunohistochemical evaluation of distribution of various NO synthase fractions in the structural elements of the bladder wall under stress urinary incontinence and its overactivity prior and post Mirabegron, Spasmex, Quercetin therapies and their combinations with Testosterone and Estradiol. Using the immunohistochemical method, we studied the expression of the main fractions of NO synthase in experimental models of hyperactive bladder (OAB) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI). We found that OAB and SUI were characterized by emergence of expression of the inducible fraction (iNOS) predominantly in the interstitial cells of the muscular layer of the bladder and reduced expression of endothelial (eNOS) and neuronal (nNOs) NO synthase fractions. In contrast to Spasmex, Mirabegron and Quercetin in combination with Testos terone and Estradiol contributed to stabilization of eNOS and nNOs expression already at early observation phases, and reduced the level of iNOS expression with its further
disappearance in the later observation period.
