Hence, detrusor instability, and subsequently bladder overactivity, may lead to undesirable outcomes including incontinence. Multiple mechanisms may underlie the pathogenesis of detrusor overactivity including inflammation and oxidative stress. Herein, we tested the possibility that CoQ10 may have a potential therapeutic role in detrusor overactivity.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>\n              <jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Forty adult male Wistar albino rats weighing 100-150\u2009g were used in the present study. Rats were divided (10\/group) into control (receiving vehicles), monosodium glutamate (MSG)-treated (receiving 5\u2009mg\/kg MSG daily for 15 consecutive days), MSG\u2009+\u2009OO-treated (receiving concomitantly 5\u2009mg\/kg MSG and olive oil for 15 consecutive days), MSG\u2009+\u2009CoQ10-treated (receiving concomitantly 5\u2009mg\/kg MSG and 100\u2009mg\/kg CoQ10 daily for 15 consecutive days) groups.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>\n              <jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>MSG resulted in significant increase in bladder weight and sensitised the bladder smooth muscles to acetylcholine. MSG has also resulted in significant increase in bladder TNF-\u03b1, IL-6, malondialdehyde, nerve growth factor and connexion 43, with significant decrease in the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase and catalase. Olive oil had no effect on MSG induced alterations of different parameters.
