摘要
Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) is an important enzyme for erection. We evaluated the content of neuronal (nNOS) and endothelial (eNOS) isoforms and their mRNA in the penis and major pelvic ganglion (MPG) of adult male rats by Western and Northern blot analysis. The cerebellum was evaluated as a control.
