摘要
In the present study venous plasma concentrations of testosterone (T), nitric oxide (NO) and endothelin 1-2 (ET1-2) in the flaccid penis and brachial blood were measured in men with psychogenic impotence. T and NO were significantly lower in the penile venous blood, while ET1-2 showed no statistical difference. These data support the hypothesis of testosterone dependence of penile nitric oxide synthesis (NOS). (C) 1998 Elsevier, Paris.
