Neuronal Voltage Gated Potassium Channels May Modulate Nitric Oxide Synthesis in Corpus Cavernosum

Potassium channels (K+Ch) in corpus cavernosum play an important role in the regulation of erection. Nitric oxide (NO) acts through opening of K+Ch leading to hyperpolarization and relaxation.Aim : This study aims to update knowledge about the role of voltage-gated K+Ch (KV) channels in erectile mac...
