ORIGINAL RESEARCH-BASIC SCIENCE: The Effects of Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)/DHEA-Sulfate (DHEAS) on the Contraction Responses of the Clitoral Cavernous Smooth Muscle from Female Rabbits

DHEA/DHEAS was found to induce a relaxation response in rabbit clitoral cavernosal smooth muscle, and this is thought to be mediated by direct inhibition of a voltage-dependent calcium channel.
