ORIGINAL RESEARCH-BASIC SCIENCE: Cavernous Neurotomy in the Rat is Associated with the Onset of an Overt Condition of Hypogonadism

BCN was associated with hypogonadism, probably of central origin. T supplementation in hypogonadal BCN rats ameliorates some aspects of BCN-induced ED, including collagenization of penile smooth muscle and endothelial dysfunction, except surgically induced altered nNOS expression.Vignozzi L, Filippi S, Morelli A, Marini M, Chavalmane A, Fibbi B, Silvestrini E, Mancina R, Carini M, Vannelli GB, Forti G, and Maggi M.
