Vipergic nerves in the penis.

J M Polak, J Gu, S Mina, S R Bloom.   

Abstract

High concentrations of vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) were detected by immunocytochemistry and radioimmunoassay in thirty surgical specimens of male external genitalia. VIP was found exclusively in fine autonomic nerves. VIPergic nerves were most densely concentrated in the penis around the pudendal arteries and in the erectile tissue of the corpus cavernosum. Considerable numbers of VIP nerve fibres were also seen in the vas deferens and epididymis. VIP is known to exert regulatory actions on blood-flow, secretion, and muscle tone. Its presence in considerable amounts in the male genital tract suggests that this newly discovered peptide neurotransmitter may be important in the nervous control of male external genitalia.
