Experimental model of human corpus cavernosum smooth muscle relaxation.
PURPOSE To describe a technique for en bloc harvesting of the corpus cavernosum, cavernous artery and urethra from transplant organ donors and contraction-relaxation experiments with corpus cavernosum smooth muscle. MATERIALS AND METHODS The corpus cavernosum was dissected to the point of attachment with the crus penis. A 3 cm segment (corpus cavernosum and urethra) was isolated and placed in...
متن کاملHydrogen sulfide as a mediator of human corpus cavernosum smooth-muscle relaxation.
Hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S) is synthesized by 2 enzymes, cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) and cystathionine gamma-lyase (CSE). L-Cysteine (L-Cys) acts as a natural substrate for the synthesis of H(2)S. Human penile tissue possesses both CBS and CSE, and tissue homogenates efficiently convert L-Cys to H(2)S. CBS and CSE are localized in the muscular trabeculae and the smooth-muscle component of th...
متن کاملEffect of an Ethanol Extract of Scutellaria baicalensis on Relaxation in Corpus Cavernosum Smooth Muscle
Aims of study. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether an ethanol extract of Scutellaria baicalensis (ESB) relaxes penile corpus cavernosum muscle in organ bath experiments. Materials and methods. Changes in tension of cavernous smooth muscle strips were determined by penile strip chamber model and in penile perfusion model. Isolated endothelium-intact rabbit corpus cavernosum w...
متن کاملA Nitric Oxide-like Factor Mediates Nonadrenergic-Nonci Relaxation of Penile Corpus Cavernosum Smooth Muscle
This study was initiated to characterize nonadrenergic-noncholinergic (NANC) inhibitory neurotransmission in penile corpus cavernosum. Using organ baths, isometric tension measurements were made in strips ofhuman and rabbit corpus cavernosum. In examining endothelium-mediated responses, cumulative additions of exogenous acetylcholine elicited dose-dependent relaxations which were significantly ...
متن کاملExperimental study of verapamil on the relaxation of isolated human corpus cavernosum tissues.
AIM To evaluate the relaxant effect of verapamil on human corpus cavernosum in vitro and to assess the drug's potential as a treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED). METHODS Preparations of the human corpus cavernosum were obtained from recently deceased young men who had had normal erectile function. The isometric tension and detailed curves were recorded when contractions induced by 10 micr...
