High impact information on Penile Erection

  • Using behavioral tests, we found that Tat-3L4F or Ro600175 blocks conditioned place preference of THC or nicotine, and that Ro600175, but not Tat-3L4F, produces anxiogenic effects, penile erection, hypophagia and motor functional suppression [11].
  • Antagonism of Rho-kinase stimulates rat penile erection via a nitric oxide-independent pathway [12].
  • Nitric oxide, released from non-adrenergic/non-cholinergic nerves, is considered the principle stimulator of cavernosal smooth muscle relaxation, however, the inhibition of vasoconstrictors (that is, norepinephrine and endothelin-1, refs. 5-9) cannot be ignored as a potential regulator of penile erection [12].
  • Nitric oxide: a physiologic mediator of penile erection [13].
  • These findings not only support the contention that VIP may be the principal neurotransmitter involved in penile erection, but also suggest that depletion of this powerful vasodilatory peptide may play a key role in the development of penile impotence [14].

Gene context of Penile Erection

  • CONCLUSIONS: eNOS mediates NO-dependent penile erection in nNOS- animals and normal penile erection [35].
  • The contribution of the neuronal and endothelial isoforms of nitric oxide synthase (nNOS and eNOS, respectively) in the synthesis of nitric oxide as a mediator of penile erection, at the levels of both the penile corpora cavernosa and the hypothalamic regions that control the erectile response, are well established [36].
  • The pleiotropic effects of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) on the physiology and pathology of penile erection [36].
  • Our results suggest that eNOS contributes significantly to the physiology of penile erection [37].
  • The data provide a molecular explanation for VEGF stimulatory effect on penile erection, which involves phosphorylated eNOS (Serine 1177) mediation [38].
