" The authors found that the statins were able to quickly relieve some

of the vascular constriction associated with metabolic syndrome that

can bring about ED.

their effect was by inhibiting the expression -- and lowering the

levels -- of a particular protein known as Rho-kinase. This protein

had previously been cited as a possible culprit in vascular

constriction of penile smooth muscle. "
