The effects of bladder distension on the production of prostaglandins (PGs) were studied in an isolated rabbit bladder preparation. Increasing bladder distensions induced a proportional release of PGs together with a parallel increase in endovesical pressure; pretreatment with indomethacin prevented both. Infusion of exogenous PGs into the arteries of bladders previously filled and treated with indomethacin produced a rise in endovesical pressure similar to that observed subsequent to distension of the untreated bladder. Our results suggest that PGs and particularly PGE2 play a role in the maintenance of vesical tone during distension.
