PnTx2–6 improves nitrergic relaxation in cavernosum strips from aged and young rats. Aged cavernosal strips showed decreased EFS-induced relaxation compared to young (#p<0.05). Incubation of PnTx2–6 (10−8M) for 4 min significantly enhanced cavernosal relaxation in both aged and young animals (n=9, *p<0.05). As observed in the figure, impaired cavernosal relaxation in aged rat strips were reversed by PnTx2–6 toxin.
