Abstract
The bladder and urethra work as a physiologically functional unit to facilitate continence in the storage and voiding phase. Sex differences have been found in the urethral contraction in response to α-adrenergic receptor activation. This study aimed to investigate the role of adrenergic receptors in the proximal urethra of male and female mice.
