| Abstract: | The adenylate cyclase activity in the rabbit renal pelvis and ureter was measured by the method of Salomon et al. (1974). The dobutamine-induced increase of adenylate cyclase activity is more prominent in the renal pelvis including the pacemaker region than in the ureter that is non-pacemaker region in the upper urinary tract. Therefore, it is thought that the pacemaker region is different from other regions in the upper urinary tract with regard to responses to dobutamine. |
