Expression of Messenger Ribonucleic Acid Encoding for Phosphodiesterase Isoenzymes in Human Female Genital Tissues

On the mRNA level, various PDE isoforms are expressed in the clitoris, labia, and vagina. It remains to be established as to whether the low expression of PDE5 in female genital tissue might be a negative predictor for the success of PDE5 inhibitors in the treatment of FSD.
