In the present study we show that clozapine acts at supraspinal and spinal sites to inhibit certain urodynamic parameters and the external urethral sphincter of the rat resulting in decreased voiding efficiency.
External urethral sphincter EMG (EUS-EMG) was recorded throughout the cystometrogram and for sometime after the filling had stopped.
The prostate surrounds the urethra just distal to the urinary bladder and proximal to the external urethral sphincter [ 1 ] and is composed of smooth muscle and secretory alveoli.
In pilot animals, the dose and duration of effects was determined by administering clozapine (saline, 0.5,5,50,100 nmoles) at 10 min intervals either intrathecally (n = 2) or intracerebroventricularly (n = 2) during continuous cystometry (infusion rate = 0.11 ml/min) while recording bladder pressure, external urethral sphincter EMG, and blood pressure.
Clozapine abolished the electromyogram (EMG) recorded from the EUS during the rising phase of a bladder contraction before urine is voided (similar to the "guarding reflex" [ 8 9 ] ). In addition, clozapine also abolished the high frequency oscillations in the bladder pressure and accompanying bursts in the external urethral sphincter EMG, that are present during the expulsion phase of the micturition profile of the rat [ 7 ] . In the clinical literature, clozapine therapy is associated with a high incidence (up to 44% in a recent study [ 10 ] ) of urinary incontinence and enuresis.
