Research Abstract |
To clarify the role of gastrin-releasing-peptide(GRP) in erectile dysfunction(ED), expression levels of GRP in the spinal cords were evaluated. The diabetes mellitus model rats were made by intraabdominal injection of streptozotocine. After development of ED was confirmed by the reflex erection test, specimens of the spinal cords were taken. Immnostaining of GRP in the specimens is now being performed, and image and statistical analyses will be performed.
