We aimed to elucidate the changes in the relaxation function of corpus cavernosal smooth muscle (CCSM) and erectile function using acute penile ischemic rabbits. Relaxation response to acetylcholine (Ach) was unchanged at 3 days after ischemia. The response to ACh had significantly decreased at 1 we...
