How can you use “intravesical” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Previously, we had shown that a chemical cystitis model (intravesical hydrochloric acid) decreased the overall MIF protein content in the bladder.
Furthermore, intravesical LPS (another commonly used cystitis model in rodents) actually increased total bladder MIF protein and mRNA content [ 10 ] . Therefore, it is possible that MIF may be involved in the early responses of the bladder to inflammatory stimuli.
Acute bladder inflammation induced by local (intravesical) administration of chemical irritants or lipopolysaccharide altered the levels of this cytokine in the bladder suggesting that MIF may be implicated in the early stages of bladder inflammation [ 10 11 ] . In addition, there were changes in the levels of MIF and cyclooxygenase-2 in the central and peripheral nervous tissues that innervate the bladder and other pelvic viscera.
Interestingly, the MIF protein content in the prostate actually decreased after intravesical LPS (unpublished observations).
