Abstract:At present,the study of erectile dysfunction depends heavily on animal models,but the differences in anatomy and physiology of currently used animals make it difficult to exceed the limitations on the experiment.In order to make the results of experiments more applicable and beneficial to the public,it is essential to establish most suitable animal models for the study of the sexual function of humans.Moreover,a consensus has not yet been reached on the methods of detecting and evaluating the erectile function of animals,and therefore an informative and instructional summary of the existing methods seems even more necessary.This article discusses how to establish and evaluate the animal models of different types of erectile dysfunction.
