[New findings regarding neuroreceptors in the lower urinary tract].
In the field of the neuroreceptors of the lower urinary tract, knowledge is being increased by some recent experimental findings, such as muscarinic subtypes, adrenergic and serotoninergic selective receptors. Moreover, the role of peptidergic receptors (VIP, CGRP, TKs, SP, ecc.; neuropeptide release from peripheral endings of capsaicin-sensitive nerves) has been suggested and investigations are in progress.
