Testosterone - Endothelial System
-Androgen receptors in the vascular endothelium-Proliferation of smooth muscle and endothelial cels-Modulates the vascular physiology through endothelial dependent and independent mecanisms -Intraluminal injection of T – relaxation of the coronary arteries -Reduce angina and miocardial isquemy induced by physical exercises-Reduce pro-trombotic factors and the development of the ateroma plaque-Low levels of testosterone is associated to the increase of coronary disease and AMI

Testosterone – Erectile Function
Structural changes in the penis -Studies in castrated animals
-Reduction and apoptosis of the smooth muscles of the corpora cavernosa
-Adipocyte accumulation in the sub tunical area
-Decrease of the nervous fibers and mielinic sheets of the cavernous nerves
-Decrease of neuronal and endothelial NOS expression
-Decrease of the smooth muscle relaxation mediated by the NO
-Decrease of the arterial influx to the corpora cavernosa
-Increase of the answer to the alpha-adrenergic vasoconstriction mediators

Testosterone Modulates the accumulation of adipocyte
In the corpora cavernosa

Withdrawal of testosterone through
castration results in apoptosis of
cavernous smooth muscle cells and
accumulation of adipocytes.
These tissue architecture changes
result in a decrease of cavernosal
compliance with ,in turn, increased
venous outflow and ED.
