Orchiectomy decreases relaxation responses of internal pudendal arteries (IPAs). (a) Concentration-response curves to acetylcholine (ACh), (b) sodium nitroprusside (SNP) and frequency-response curves (nonadrenergic-noncholinergic [NANC]-induced relaxation) (c) in IPAs from sham (•) and castrated (▪) rats. Representative tracings show NANC-induced relaxation in response to electric field stimulation (at 20 V, 1-ms pulse width, and trains of stimuli lasting 10 s at varying frequencies [0.2–12 Hz] in the presence of atropine and guanethidine) in IPAs from sham (left) and castrated (right) rats. The points represent the mean ± standard error of the mean (n = 5–6). *P < 0.05 versus sham.
