  • The mechanisms involved in urinary bladder control are not fully understood, but it is well accepted that a complex central network is involved in micturition control. The micturition reflex can be modulated by direct cortical influence through facilitatory and inhibitory mechanisms. In addition, humoral mechanisms are involved in the bladder control. Vasopressin increases bladder contraction and intravesical pressure. This study sought to investigate the effect of intravenous injections of vasopressin receptor antagonists on cystometric parameters in anesthetized female rats. Isoflurane anesthetized adult female Wistar rats underwent femoral artery and vein cannulation for arterial pressure (AP) and heart rate (HR) recordings, and infusion of drugs, respectively. The bladder was also cannulated for intravesical pressure (IP) recordings and infusion of saline (10mL/h) for cystometric evaluation. After baseline AP, HR and IP recordings, saline (vehicle, 1mL/kg), V1a (5μg/kg) or V2 receptor antagonist (5μg/kg) was injected i.v. and after 25min the cystometry was carried out. Neither saline nor V1a or V2 receptor blockade evoked any change in AP, HR and IP. Nevertheless, during cystometry, the threshold pressure of the micturition reflex was significantly reduced in rats with V1a (to 19.30±2.39mmHg) and V2 receptor blockade (to 19.88±2.49mmHg) compared to the saline group (28.85±2.06mmHg, p=0.014). No difference was observed in the other cystometric parameters. Therefore, the data suggest that blockade of V1a and V2 receptors reduces the threshold pressure of the micturition reflex and does not influence other cystometric parameters in anesthetized female Wistar rats.
