Patterns of activation of vanilloid and purinergic receptors of the bladder urothelium in elderly with hyperfunction of urothelium, atherosclerosis and their combination

This article describes the patterns of activation of vanilloid and purinergic receptors in the bladder tissue in males of different ages. Based on the obtained data, the conclusions are made about the prospects of using activation of these receptors as predictors of certain diseases of the male urinary tract, such as idiopathic increased activity of the bladder (overactive bladder) and as biological markers for evaluating the effectiveness of treatment in the combination of idiopathic overactive bladder and atherosclerotic changes of general nature.
