Polaprezinc attenuates cyclophosphamide-induced cystitis and related bladder pain in mice

Cav3.2 T-type Ca2+ channels targeted by H2S, a gasotransmitter, participate in cyclophosphamide-induced cystitis and bladder pain. Given that zinc selectively inhibits Cav3.2 among T-channel isoforms and also exhibits antioxidant activity, we examined whether polaprezinc (zinc-l-carnosine), a medici...
