Dopamine is produced in the rat spinal cord and regulates micturition reflex after spinal cord injury.

Hou S1, Carson DM2, Wu D2, Klaw MC2, Houlé JD2, Tom VJ3.
Experimental neurology.Exp Neurol.2016 Nov;285(Pt B):136-146. doi: 10.1016/j.expneurol.2015.12.001. Epub 2015 Dec 2.
Dopamine (DA) neurons in the mammalian central nervous system are thought to be restricted to the brain. DA-mediated regulation of urinary activity is considered to occur through an interaction between midbrain DA neurons and the pontine micturition center. Here we show that DA is produced in the ra

Urothelial ATP signaling: what is its role in bladder sensation?

Takezawa K1,2,3, Kondo M2, Nonomura N1, Shimada S2.
Neurourology and urodynamics.Neurourol Urodyn.2016 Aug 19. doi: 10.1002/nau.23099. [Epub ahead of print]
AIM: Bladder functional disorders are common health problems; however, their pathologies are poorly understood. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) released from the urothelium has been suggested to have an essential role in the micturition reflex, and its involvement in bladder functional disorders has be

The bladder urothelium is more than just a barrier. When the bladder is distended, the urothelium functions as a sensor to initiate the voiding reflex, during which it releases ATP via multiple mechanisms. However, the mechanisms underlying this ATP release in response to the various stretch stimuli

The Forefront for Novel Therapeutic Agents Based on the Pathophysiology of Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction : Pathophysiology of Voiding Dysfunction and Pharmacological Therapy

Takeda Masayuki,Araki Isao,Mochizuki Tsutomu [他],NAKAGOMI Hiroshi,KOBAYASHI Hideki,SAWADA Norifumi,ZAKOHJI Hidenori
Journal of pharmacological sciences 112(2), 121-127, 2010-02-20
… During voiding, the pontine micturition reflex center orders the sacral parasympathetic nucleus to increase parasympathetic activity, resulting in urinary bladder detrusor contraction via activation of post-synaptic muscarinic receptors (M2/3) and in the relaxation of both urethral and prostatic smooth muscle by nitric oxide (NO). …

日本平滑筋学会機関誌 41(3), 117-132, 2005-06
… The micturition reflex is one of the autonomic reflexes, but the release of urine is regulated by voluntary neural mechanisms that involve centers in the brain and spinal cord. …

Inhibition Mechanism of Gosha-jinki-gan on the Micturition Reflex in Rats

… In cystometrical investigations, Gosha-jinki-gan (1.0 g/kg, i.d.) increased bladder capacity as well as micturition threshold pressure. … However, it did not influence the amplitude of bladder contractions induced by electrical stimulation of the pontine micturition center. … Gosha-jinki-gan may be a useful anti-pollakiuria agent that does not influence bladder contractility at micturition. …
