...Fatih Tarhan; Uğur Kuyumcuoğlu; Ahmet Kolsuz; Aydin Özgül; Önder Cangüven Recent studies have shown an important role for nitric oxide (NO) in cavernous smooth muscle relaxation. In this study the intracavernosal effects of the NO donor sodium nitroprusside (SNP) were investigated in 32 patients...

...Hartmut E.H. Wegner; Helmut H. Knispel; Rüdiger Klän; Thomas Meier; Kurt Miller Recent experimental work has demonstrated that nitric oxide (NO) is the neurotransmitter responsible for cavernous smooth muscle relaxation. Different studies on the performance of the direct NO donor linsidomine...

...Alessandro Rubini; Marco Redaelli; Michela Bondì Introduction: The purpose of this report is to elucidate the possible role of nitric oxide (NO) in modulating smooth muscle tone of swine ureteral wall and its hydraulic resistance to urinary flow. Materials and Methods: We performed direct...

...Catherine Whitbeck; Paul Chichester; Rebekah Sokol; Robert M. Levin Background: Evidence indicates that decreased blood flow to the bladder plays a major role in obstructive bladder dysfunction in the rabbit model of partial bladder outlet obstruction (PBOO), and that nitric oxide (NO) regulation...

...T. Klotz; M.J. Mathers; M. Braun; W. Bloch; U. Engelmann Background and Aims: Relaxation of cavernous smooth muscle is a parasympathetic and non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic mediated process which requires nitric oxide (NO). NO is synthesized from L -arginine by NO synthase (NOS). Some studies...
