Yu Y et al. - The findings suggest the importance of steroid hormones in maintaining the integrity of the bladder structure and regulating the expression of VEGF in the female urinary tract. Both estrogen and androgen can reverse the bladder muscle atrophy induced by ovariectomy. However, the decline in VEGF expression in the bladder cannot be fully recovered with either estrogen or androgen replacement.
