Figure 4

The distribution of inducible NOS (iNOS) in the dorsal penile nerve and artery bundles of cavernous nerve injury rat.

Immunofluorescent double-staining of penile tissue performed with antibody to α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA; an artery marker) and iNOS. (a) Representative fluorescence images of iNOS in the dorsal penile nerve and artery from each group are shown. (iNOS, green; smooth muscle, red; nuclear, blue; original magnification 100x). Note increase in iNOS expression in dorsal nerve bundle of vehicle only group. The dot circle is dorsal penile nerve; the arrow is dorsal artery. DAPI, 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole.
