Current treatments for erectile dysfunction (ED) are ineffective in prostatectomy and diabetic patients due to cavernous nerve (CN) injury, which causes smooth muscle apoptosis, penile remodeling, and ED. Apoptosis can occur via the intrinsic (caspase 9) or extrinsic (caspase 8) pathway. We examined the mechanism of how apoptosis occurs in ED patients and CN injury rat models to determine points of intervention for therapy development. Immunohistochemical and western analyses for caspase 3-cleaved, caspase-8 and caspase-9 (pro and act
