title: Effects of hydroxocobalamin on nitrergic transmission in rat anococcygeus and bovine retractor penis muscles: sensitivity to light.
abstract: Hydroxocobalamin inhibited nitrergic nerve-induced relaxations in rat anococcygeus and bovine retractor penis muscles in a concentration-dependent manner. In the rat anococcygeus muscle, the inhibition was greater in light than in dark conditions, whereas in the bovine retractor penis the inhibition was similar under both conditions.
