Phenylephrine (PE) precontraction was achieved, then the drugs AMP and L-Arginine were administered either independently or in sequential combinations to the strips under precontracted conditions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Main Outcome Measures<\/jats:title><jats:p>Contraction percentages were compared.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>When precontraction was induced by PE 8\u2009\u03bcM or 20\u2009\u03bcM, AMP was shown to induce relaxation up to 25% in a dose-dependent manner. The relaxation induced by L-Arginine reached 15.6% at 5.10\u22124\u2009M vs. 16.5% at AMP 5.10\u22124\u2009M under the same experimental conditions. Nitric oxide (NO) synthase inhibitor N-nitro-L-arginine strongly inhibited the relaxing effect provoked by AMP, suggesting that the action mechanism of this nucleotide is related to the NO pathway. The combination of L-Arginine at 5.10\u22124\u2009M with AMP at different doses ranging from 5.10\u22124\u2009M to 10\u22123\u2009M significantly amplified the relaxing response up to 40.7% and 58%, respectively.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our results demonstrate that AMP induces a relaxing effect on the female rabbit corpora. They also show that L-Arginine and AMP can potentiate each other and that a synergistic effect can be obtained by their combined use. Because only slight differences exist between both sexes in response to NO donors and\/or nucleotide purines or in their use together, it is very likely that close biochemical mechanisms, although not to the same degree and not quite similar, are involved in the engorgement of the penis and the clitoris of New Zealand White rabbits.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/sm2.19","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,1,6]],"date-time":"2014-01-06T12:20:41Z","timestamp":1389010841000},"page":"1-7","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Effects
