Expression and Activity of Heme Oxygenase‐1 in Artificially Induced Low‐Flow Priapism in Rat Penile Tissues

A higher induction of HO‐1 with time was observed in artificially induced veno‐occlusive priapism, which might play a protective role against hypoxic injury. However, this may also play an important role in the vicious circle observed in a low‐flow priapism. Jin YC, Gam SC, Jung JH, Hyun JS, Chang KC, and Hyun JS.
