The neurovascular mechanism of clitoral erection: nitric oxide and cGMP-stimulated activation of BK sub(Ca) channels

Female sexual function is under-studied, and mechanisms of clitoral engorgement-relaxation are incompletely understood. Penile erection results from nitric oxide (NO)-induced cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) accumulation. cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) activates large-conductance, calcium-...
