Urinary retention induced by estrogen injections in mice: an analytical model.

Daily subcutaneous injections of pharmacological doses of 17 beta-estradiol (E2, 0.4 micrograms./gm. body weight) resulted in significant urinary retention in the bladder of castrated mice. Although the urinary retention developed in both male and female mice, the increase in urethral resistance to urinary flow and the dilatation of posterior urethra were observed only in castrated male mice receiving E2. Histological changes common to male and female mice were cornification and stratification of urethral epithelium and fibrosis of connective tissues surrounding the urethra, suggesting that these changes may cause the urinary retention. Although the exact mechanism has not been defined, the urinary retention produced by the present method may be useful as a model of human disease.[1]
