Leptin Enhances Nitric Oxide-Dependent Relaxation of the Clitoral Corpus Cavernosum
PURPOSE The effects of leptin on female sexual behaviors are controversial, and studies on this topic are limited. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the direct effects of leptin on clitoral vasoreactivity in vitro and to determine the mechanism of action. MATERIALS AND METHODS Isometric tension studies were conducted to determine the effects of pretreatment with leptin (10(-8) M) ...
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 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 کاملRegulation of spontaneous activity in rabbit corpus cavernosum myocytes by nitric oxide
The aim of the present study is two fold. Firstly, to determine if the nitric oxide (NO)/cGMP pathway can modulate spontaneous transient inward and outward currents (STICs and STOCs), in rabbit corpus cavernosum smooth muscle. Secondly, to see if nitric oxide can effect intracellular calcium oscillations observed in these cells. Male New Zealand white rabbits were humanely killed with an inject...
متن کاملLight-controlled relaxation of the rat penile corpus cavernosum using NOBL-1, a novel nitric oxide releaser
PURPOSE To investigate whether relaxation of the rat penile corpus cavernosum could be controlled with NOBL-1, a novel, light-controllable nitric oxide (NO) releaser. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifteen-week-old male Wistar-ST rats were used. The penile corpus cavernosum was prepared and used in an isometric tension study. After noradrenaline (10(-5) M) achieved precontraction, the penile corpus ca...
