摘要: In the present study, distribution of neuropeptides in human penis is demonstrated by immunohistochemistry (IHC). IHC screening detected a complex network nerve fibers containing vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), peptide histidine-methionine (PHM), prepro-VIP (111-122), neuropeptide Y (NPY), C-flanking NPY (C-PON), calcitonin gene-related peptide, substance P, and galanin immunoreactivities. Special attention was also given to recently isolated, VIP-related lizard helospectin, which could be neuronal elements penis. Colocalization studies showed coexistence VIP, PHM, partly with C-PON within cavernous spongious body, glans penis, urethra.
