Effect of an Ethanol Extract of Scutellaria baicalensis on Relaxation in Corpus Cavernosum Smooth Muscle

Figure 3

(a) Effects of 0.1 mM L-NAME and 10 μM ODQ on ESB-induced relaxation of rabbit cavernosal smooth muscle strips. (c), (d) Effects of ESB on cGMP and cAMP level in crude homogenates of rabbit corpus cavernosum tissues. (b) Effects of L-NAME and ODQ on the ESB-induced increase of cGMP levels in crude homogenates of rabbit corpus cavernosum tissues. Mean values ± S.E. (𝑛=5) are shown. *𝑃<0.01, **𝑃<0.001 versus vehicle, ^#𝑃<0.001 versus ESB.
