Finally, the lumbosacral spinal cord of the rat where afferent and efferent information is integrated to result in effective pelvic viscera function [ 14 ] , was also shown to contain MIF protein and mRNA.
The urothelium contains a rich store of pre-formed MIF [ 10 11 ] . Moreover, MIF protein and mRNA were also detected by Western blotting techniques and RT-PCR in the major pelvic ganglia (MPG) that provides efferent (parasympathetic and sympathetic) innervation to the bladder and other pelvic viscera [ 12 13 ] . In addition, the L6-S1 dorsal root ganglia (DRG) that provide afferent innervation to the bladder [ 13 ] and other pelvic viscera constitutively expressed MIF.
