2022, Journal of the Formosan Medical AssociationCitation Excerpt :NO synthase, the synthetic enzyme for NO, which is a physiologic mediator of EF, was localized to rat penile neurons innervating the CC and to neuronal plexuses in the adventitial layer of the penile arteries.24 The MPG, which contains many NOS-positive neurons, is considered to be the main source of NOS-positive nerve fibers in the penile erectile tissue.25 nNOS-positive nerve fibers also increased with cPRP treatment at 7 d post-injury compared with the vehicle-treated group.
