Clinical Cornerstone, 2005
A complex interaction of neural, vascular, and biomolecular activity results in normal erectile function. Two chambers in the penis, the corpus cavernosa, contain sinusoids, which fill with blood and expand to become rigid when smooth muscle is relaxed. Blood flow out of the penis is temporarily stopped (veno-occlusion) to maintain the erection. Neural

ROLE OF ANDROGENS IN ERECTILE FUNCTION
Journal of Urology, 2004Erectile response in mammals is centrally and peripherally regulated by androgens. Severe hypogonadism in men usually results in loss of libido and potency. The present studies were designed to evaluate the possible influence of circulating androgens in the regulation of sexual function.A total of 15 men with severe hypogonadism (testosterone less than

Current Opinion in Urology, 2003
Few human studies have been performed with specific genetic endpoints coupled with erectile function or dysfunction. Most knowledge of gene expression and the function thereof on penile erection has been acquired in experimental models. The purpose of the present review is to give an overview of the available information obtained in studies of genes or
