Table 1. Densitometric analysis of proteins involved in protein degradation in the corpora of rats with opiorphin induced priapism.

Densitometry was performed following western blot analysis of protein extracts from the corpora of 6 rats with pVAX-Vcsa1 induced priapism or 6 control animals treated with pVAX. The fold change in expression in pVAX-Vcsa1 treated animals was compared to control (pVAX-treated) ± standard deviation.

Protein	Fold Change Compared to Control (± standard deviation)
LC3B-I	2.92 ± 0.32^*
LC3B-II	5.45 ± 0.2^*
Nedd-4	2.55 ± 0.009^*
Mdm-2	2.38 ± 0.2^*
Bcl-2	1.45 ± 0.01^*

Significant change in the expression of protein in animals treated with plasmids expressing opiorphin compared with controls (Student's t-test, P < 0.05).
