A porcine model of ureteral contractile activity: Influences of age, tissue orientation, region, urothelium, COX and NO

DiscussionThe complexity of ureteral contractions depicting bursts of phasic activity requires AUC assessment. Porcine ureteral contractile properties, such as regional differences, influence of mucosa and lack of response to carbachol, are similar to those reported in the literature for human ureter.
