AbstractThe bladder and urethral activities during the rhythmic bladder contractions were evaluated before and after the intraarterial administration of methylene blue, which prevents the activation of soluble guanylate cyclase. The methylene blue produced an increase in the bladder activity and a decrease in the urethral smooth muscle relaxant response induced with bladder contraction. The L-arginine/nitric oxide pathway seems to modulate the vesicourethral function.
