Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide levels and distribution in the penis of old rats.

F Amenta1, C Cavallotti, M De Rossi, F Ferrante, P Geppetti.   

Abstract

Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) levels and distribution were studied in the penis of young-adult (3-month-old) and old (30-month-old) Wistar rats by radioimmunoassay and immunofluorescence. No significant changes in tissue VIP concentrations or distribution occurred in the penis of old rats compared to young-adult rats. The present data indicate that the age-related impairment of male sexual function is not dependent on modifications of the VIP-ergic innervation of penile tissue.
