GROWTH HORMONE ENHANCES REGENERATION OF NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHASE-CONTAINING PENILE NERVES AFTER CAVERNOUS NERVE NEUROTOMY IN RATS

Abstract

Our results show that GH injection significantly enhances the regeneration of NOS-containing fibers in the dorsal and intracavernosal nerves after unilateral cavernous nerve injury. We believe that GH administration may present a new and more physiologic approach to the treatment of erectile dysfunction after radical pelvic surgery.
