Effects of nonadrenergic-noncholinergic nerves stimulation (A), acetylcholine (B), and sodium nitroprusside (C) in phenylephrine (PE)-contracted cavernosal strips from lean (○) and db/db (●) mice. Experimental values of the relaxations induced by electrical field stimulation stimulation (1–32 Hz) (N = 5 in each group), acetylcholine (N = 5in each group), and sodium nitroprusside (N = 5 in each group) were calculated relative to the maximal changes from the contraction produced by PE in each tissue, which was taken as 100%. Data represent the mean ± SEM of N experiments. * = P < 0.05 compared with the values of cavernosal strips from lean mice; db/db = obesity and type II diabetes caused by a leptin receptor mutation.
