OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effects of the tuberous powder of Butea superba Roxb. (Leguminosae) on blood testosterone and luteinizing hormone (LH), and toxicity in male rats.
METHODS
Adult male Wistar rats were orally treated with 0, 10, 100, 150 or 200 mg/kg BW/day of B. superba powder suspension in
BACKGROUND
Hyperprolactinemia is an uncommon cause of erectile dysfunction in men. Paget's disease of the skull is a relatively common disease. This case proposes a rare example of a causative link between the two and how treatment of the Paget's disease with bisphosphonates helped the patient
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common complication in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) that severely affects the patients' quality of life. However, the effectiveness of oral phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors in these patients is poor. Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) and S1P OBJECTIVE
The rates of erectile dysfunction (ED) in heart failure (HF) are extremely high. This study tested the hypothesis that rats with HF display ED and that HF leads to increased sympathetic-mediated contractile tone of the cavernous tissue and/or internal pudendal arteries (IPA) as potential
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a highly prevalent and often under-treated condition. Erection is basically a spinal reflex that can be initiated by recruitment of penile afferents but also by visual, olfactory and imaginary stimuli. The generated nervous signals will influence the balance between
Epidemiologic studies have shown that aging accounts significantly for the prevalence of erectile dysfunction (ED). The pathophysiology of ED during aging and its underlying molecular mechanisms are largely unknown. We hypothesized that increased RhoA/Rho-kinase signaling is a major factor in the
The incidence of erectile dysfunction (ED), defined as the persistent inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance, increases with age and with risk factors for vascular disease, including smoking, diabetes and hypertension. Penile erection results from
OBJECTIVE
To clarify the molecular basis of penile erection at the human level and distinguish the mechanisms underlying vasculogenic and post-radical prostatectomy (RP) erectile dysfunction (ED) subtypes.
METHODS
Erectile tissue was obtained from men without history of ED who underwent penile
Aging-related erectile dysfunction is characterized by a loss of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and fibrosis in the corpora cavernosa, and functionally by corporal veno-occlusive dysfunction (CVOD). Phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5A) inhibitors, in part via upregulating inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS2A),
Binuclear metallohydrolases are a family of proteins that can be targeted for drug discovery. The common feature of these enzymes is the presence of two closely spaced metal ions (i.e. less than 4 Å apart) that capture a water molecule that is used as a nucleophile in highly specific hydrolytic
BACKGROUND
The cavernosal tissue is highly responsive to endothelin-1 (ET-1), and penile smooth muscle cells not only respond to but also synthesize ET-1.
OBJECTIVE
Considering that ET-1 is directly involved in end-organ damage in salt-sensitive forms of hypertension, we hypothesized that activation
To compare the improving effects of diabetic erectile dysfunction with two anti-glycemic agents; phlorizin and insulin.Sixty Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups (n=15 in each group): normal control (C), untreated diabetic rats (D), and We describe a 64-year-old man who developed cholestatic jaundice after receiving 20 to 40 mg of methyltestosterone daily for 6 months for impotence but failed to mention it as part of his drug history. He underwent endoscopic retrograde and papillotomy before a positive history for
Beginning October 1985, 111 men agreed to enter a prospective study of the side effects of low dose papaverine/phentolamine therapy. A total of 46 men dropped out, 30 during the initial phase. The percentage of men with painless nodules almost consistently doubled from one followup examination to
In this pilot study the treatment of advanced prostatic cancer with cyproteronacetate (AndrocurR) is compared with the treatment of a lower dose cyproteronacetate plus lisuride (DoperginR), an anti-prolactin derivative. Treatment was continued until progression and/or the appearance of serious side
