| Abstract: | Immunocytochemistry and radioimmunochemistry demonstrates the occurrence of numerous nerves containing the vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) in the male genital tract. The nerves occur in association with arteries and smooth musculature of the organs. Available evidence suggests VIP to be a new neurotransmittor possibly involved in the regulation of blood flow and muscle contractility of the male genital organs. |
