Antioxidant effects of phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors: reply [PDF]
We thank Dr. Tanus-Santos for his interest in our study.1 The study by Muniz et al .2 found that erectile dysfunction patients with the lowest levels of endogenous nitric oxide (NO) have the best responses to the phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitor sildenafil.
