3A. Example of a continuous trace of intracorporal pressure (ICP) (upper panel) and systemic blood pressure (BP) (lower panel) over the course of an experiment following administration of 200 μl empty-nanoparticles in coconut oil performed topically to a rat that had cavernous nerve transection one week prior to the study. The time line is the time after application of the empty-nanoparticles. 3B. The experiment was repeated using nanoparticles releasing NO (NO-np). 3C. ICP/BP average over 10 minutes for 6 animals prior to the addition of NO-np, and at 10 minute intervals following the administration of the NO-np in the coconut oil carrier. *= significant increase in ICP/BP ratio over 10 minutes compared to pretreatment value
