Abstract:
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the human central nervous system. NO, ion channel, cytokine and testosterone play an important role in MS, and may be associated with the pathogenesis of ED. Meanwhile, the relationship between MS-induced peripheral nerve injury and ED should be understood correctly. Further researches on these mediators can provide some theoretical evidence for the clinical treatment of ED.
