Table 2. Comparison between diastolic and systolic function of corpus cavernosum smooth muscle in rats in each group.
Group | Number (n) | Systolic function (%) | Diastolic function (%) |
---|---|---|---|
Normal | 12 | 8.07 ± 2.52 | 40.51 ± 3.24 |
Blank | 9 | 26.99 ± 2.82* | 21.13 ± 2.11* |
NC | 10 | 27.99 ± 2.22* | 20.96 ± 2.05* |
TrkA | 11 | 19.07 ± 2.21*# | 27.93 ± 2.91*# |
TrkA+NGF | 10 | 15.74 ± 2.32*#& | 35.57 ± 2.53*#& |
Note: NC: negative control. *P < 0.05, compared with the normal group; #P < 0.05, compared with the blank group; &P < 0.05, compared with the TrkA group.
