Androgens Modulate Endothelial Function and Endothelial Progenitor Cells in Erectile Physiology
The incidence of erectile dysfunction (ED) increases with age and cardiovascular disease risk factors, such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, insulin resistance, obesity, and diabetes. These risk factors are thought to contribute to endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis, thus contributing to the pathophysiology of ED. The role of the endothelium in regulating erectile physiology is well es...
متن کاملEndothelial progenitor cells and erectile dysfunction: reply
Fadini et al. mention that antibodies used and staining performed in our study were not described. In order to condense the methods section, we referred to the publication of the EPCAD study (Circulating Endothelial Progenitor Cells and Cardiovascular Morbidity and Mortality in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease Study), in which the patients from our study were enrolled from. Flow cytometry ...
متن کاملEndothelial progenitor cells and erectile dysfunction.
in the last years, influenced by TV commercials and the convenience of fast food. Today, children consume too much fatty and processed food. Conversely, it has been demonstrated that high adherence to the traditional Mediterranean dietary pattern is associated with a lower prevalence of obesity in men and women in the Mediterranean population. This healthy dietary pattern is associated with a s...
متن کاملEffect of Scurrula atropurpurea on nitric oxide, endothelial damage, and endothelial progenitor cells of DOCA-salt hypertensive rats
Objective(s):To know whether Scurrula atropurpurea is able to modulate total plasma nitrate/nitrite levels, decrease endothelial damage, and increase endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in hypertensive rats. Materials and Methods: The rats were divided in 5 groups: control (normotensive) group, Desoxy cortico sterone (DOCA)-salt hypertensive group, and three DOCA-salt hypertensive groups. All 5...
متن کاملNifedipine improves endothelial function: role of endothelial progenitor cells.
Nifedipine has been shown to improve endothelial function. Recent studies have indicated that endothelial function is correlated with the number of circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), but it is unclear whether nifedipine affects the number and function of EPCs. The aims of this study were to determine the effects of nifedipine on the number and function of EPCs and to investigate t...
