The present study investigated the role of nitric oxide (NO) in the reflex changes in urethral outlet activity during micturition. Isovolumetric bladder contractions, urethral pressure and external urethral sphincter electromyogram (EUS EMG) activity were recorded independently in urethane-anesthetized rats. During reflex bladder contractions, the urethra exhibited reflex responses characterized by an initial decrease in urethral pressure in conjunction with a rise in bladder pressure. This was followed by a period of high frequency oscillations (HFOs) associated with maximal urethral relaxation and burst type EUS EMG activity. Administration of N-nitro-L-arginine (L-NOARG) 10 mg./kg. intravenously, a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, reversibly decreased the magnitude (62%, p
