Alpha1‐Adrenoceptor Antagonists Improve Bladder Storage Function Through Reduction of Afferent Activity in Rats With Bladder Outlet Obstruction

Using a rat BOO model, we determined whether α1‐adrenoceptor (AR) antagonists (silodosin, prazosin) improve the bladder storage function by reducing afferent input from the lower urinary tract.
