Discussion

In vitro analysis reveals atorvastatin and gemfibrozil relax mouse corpus cavernosum tissues, suggesting potential benefits for erectile function.

Both atorvastatin and gemfibrozil resulted in dose-dependent relaxation of corpus cavernosum tissues.
The relaxant effect of atorvastatin is partially inhibited by L-NAME, indicating a nitric oxide pathway.
Neither drug significantly altered tissue responses to acetylcholine, nitroprusside, or electrical field stimulation.
These findings imply that atorvastatin and gemfibrozil may offer beneficial effects on erectile function without adverse outcomes.

Erkoseoglu et al. (2025) studied this question.
