Sildenafil, the first selective phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitor to be widely used for treating erectile dysfunction, has been investigated with regard to its cardioand renoprotective effects in animal models. This study further investigated the renoprotective effects of sildenafil and their molecular mechanisms in deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt hypertensive (DSH) rats.
