Abstract
This study revealed that rats with features of metabolic syndrome display impaired cavernous nerve regeneration after penile nerve injury, but the degree of functional impairment may be attenuated due to reduced plasticity of NO signaling. This reinnervation deficit may be of clinical relevance for understanding why ED persists in some (particularly aged) men after pelvic surgery. Nangle MR, Proietto J, and Keast JR. Impaired cavernous reinnervation after penile nerve injury in rats with features of the metabolic syndrome.
