Determination of erectile function by ICP/BP measurement in young and old rats

ICP/BP ratio
Basal 0.75 mA 4 mA
Young 0.08 ± 0.006 0.67 ± 0.04 0.72 ± 0.02
Old 0.07 ± 0.007 0.18 ± 0.03* 0.25 ± 0.03*

Abbreviations: ICP/BP, intracavernosal pressure/ blood pressure. ICP/BP response to electrical stimulation of 0.75 and 4 mA to the cavernosal nerve in young and old rats.

*

Difference between ICP/BP value in young and old animals following electrostimulation is significantly different (P<0.01).
