Abstract:
:A pharmacological study using monkeys, in which parkinsonism was induced by 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP), was undertaken to elucidate the mechanism underlying urinary bladder dysfunctions in Parkinson's disease. Under ketamine anesthesia, cystometrograms showed that, in MPTP-treated monkeys, a contraction of the urinary bladder was induced with smaller bladder volume than that in normal monkeys. In MPTP-treated monkeys, subcutaneously injected SKF 38393, a dopamine D1 receptor agonist, significantly increased the bladder volume and pressure thresholds for inducing the micturition reflex without affecting those in normal monkeys. In contrast, subcutaneous injections of quinpirole, a dopamine D2 receptor agonist, and apomorphine, a dopamine D1 and D2 receptor agonist, slightly, but significantly reduced the volume threshold of the bladder for the micturition reflex in both normal and MPTP-treated groups. These results indicate that, in parkinsonism, the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra leads to the detrusor hyperreflexia, probably due to a failure of activation of dopamine D1 receptors.
