Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of a neurokinin (NK)-1 receptor antagonist (RA), netupitant, on micturition reflex function from open outlet, continuous fill cystometry in NGF-OE mice and littermate WT mice at postnatal (P) day 7, P14, P28 and Adult (A). Intravesical netupitant (0.1 μg/ml) significantly (p ≤ 0.01) decreased the number of nonvoiding contractions (NVCs) in NGF-OE mice at P7 and P28 but was without effect on NVCs in WT mice that exhibited few NVCs (A). Intravesical netupitant (0.1 μg/ml) was without effect on bladder pressures (baseline (BP), threshold pressure (TP), peak micturition pressure (MP)) in NGF-OE and WT mice at any postnatal age examined (B). *, p ≤ 0.01 compared to vehicle. Values are means ± S.E.M. (n = 6–8 for each group).
Article Snippet: The effectiveness of intravesical netupitant (Med Chem Express (MCE), Monmouth Junction, NJ; 0.1 μg/ml) administration was evaluated in littermate WT and NGF-OE mice from various postnatal ages (P7-A).
