The Gas That Controls Your Erections 🧪 #Science #NitricOxide #ED #JohnsHopkins

But back then, I was scientifically interested in how to address the problem better. And we started really a journey back then, some scientific work collaborating with the neuroscientists here at Johns Hopkins. And we figured out that the elusive chemical that drove the chemical process from nerves, the nerve endings that drive the blood vessel tissue and the to work is this drug or is this chemical called nitric oxide, Nitric oxide, which everybody kind of throws around these days. And of course, nobody believed it back then. It was a gaseous molecule. But it was really found out that really the science of many disorders in the body do have gaseous molecules that are made kind of on demand, not the traditional neurotransmitters. And actually I figured that out and wrote a science paper back in 1992. Who'd have thought a urologic surgeon is writing a paper in the journal called Science? And that was the foundation for how we learned about how are driven by this chemical process.
