Relaxant and Antioxidant Capacity of the Red Wine Polyphenols, Resveratrol and Quercetin, on Isolated Mice Corpora Cavernosa

The red wine compound resveratrol, but not quercetin, relaxes isolated mice CC concentration‐dependently through mechanisms independent of the NO/sGC pathway. Resveratrol is a more potent antioxidant than quercetin, being able to restore decreased neuronal NO responses in mice CC. Boydens C, Pauwels B, Decaluwé K, Brouckaert P, and Van de Voorde J.
