Losartan, an Angiotensin Type I Receptor, Restores Erectile Function by Downregulation of Cavernous Renin-Angiotensin System in Streptozocin-Induced Diabetic Rats

The cavernous RAS plays a role in modulating erectile function in corpora cavernosa and is involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic ED. ARB can restore diabetic ED through downregulating cavernous RAS. Yang R, Yang B, Wen Y, Fand F, Cui S, Lin G, Sun Z, Wang R, and Dai Y.
