Figure 5. Short term treatment with sildenafil regulates the expression of epiregulin (EREG) in the corpora cavernosa after BCNR.
Top: Total RNA was extracted from 3 days Sham, BCNR and BCNR+ SIL were subjected to real time PCR for CTGF (SA Bioscience) normalized by RPLP1 housekeeping genes. Bottom: homogenates from corpora cavernosa were subjected to western blot analysis for CTGF (Ab Cam) normalized by GAPDH with the correspondent densitometric analysis. * p<0.05
