Abstract
The serotoninergic system has been widely implicated in the control of urinary bladder function. In the present study, we have demonstrated that preganglionic fibers and ganglionic serotoninergic neurons, expressing the 5-HT3 and 5-HT4 receptors, and the effector smooth muscle cells, expressing 5-HT1 and 5-HT2 receptors, are actively involved in the regulation of the bladder contractile activity in rabbits.
