The Inhibition of Ureteral Motility by Periureteral Adipose Tissue

Figure 10

Influence of coincubation with PUAT + L-NNA on contractile responses to ACh of PUAT-free ureters. ACh stimulated contractile frequencies of PUAT-free ureters remained significantly greater in the absence (control, closed bars, 𝑛=10) than those in the presence (open bars, 𝑛=10) of a ureter + PUAT and L-NNA. (RMANOVA 𝑃<0.05 group term, 𝑃<0.001 group × concentration term). *𝑃<0.05, **𝑃<0.01.
