Abstract Diabetes is associated with both dysfunction of the lower urinary tract (LUT)
and overactivity of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). Although it is well
known that the RAS affects normal LUT function, very little is known about RAS
effects on the diabetic LUT. Accordingly, we investigated the effects of chronic
angiotensin II (AngII) treatment on the LUT in a model of type 1 diabetes.
