After 4 weeks, the erectile function of all rats was evaluated by electrical stimulation of the cavernous nerve.

Compared with the control group, the rats in the HHcy group showed the following: (1) higher levels of total plasma homocysteine; (2) fewer neuronal nitric oxide synthase-positive cells in the corpus cavernous; (3) higher levels of reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde, higher expression levels of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase, and lower activities of superoxide dismutase, indicating an overactivated oxidative stress; (4) lower expression levels of Erk1\/2\/Nrf2\/HO-1 signaling pathway components; and (5) higher levels of apoptosis, as determined by the expression levels of Bax, Bcl-2, and caspase 3.
