Abstract:Objective The study was designed to determine the effect of low frequency (2.5Hz) intraurethral electrical stimulation on bladder capacity and maximum voiding pressures.Materials and Methods The experiments were conducted in 15 virgin female Sprague-Dawley rats (220–250g). The animals were anesthetized by intraperitoneal injection of urethane (1.5g/kg). Animal care and experimental procedures were reviewed and approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of Antwerp University (code: 2013-50). Un… Show more
“…Regarding the clitoris, we observed sensory innervation from L7 and S1 SG, input from S1 sympathetic trunk ganglia, direct inputs from intermediolateral regions of L7‐S1 spinal cord segments, a very small contingent from the caudal mesenteric ganglia, but no input from pelvic plexus ganglia in mesenteries collected near the bladder wall and ureter. In rats, electrophysiological methods show that both pudendal and hypogastric nerves carry afferents from the clitoris (Yu et al, ). Similarly, we previously observed that nerves to the clitoris branched only from pudendal nerves (Gomez‐Amaya et al, ).…”
