چکیده
OBJECTIVES To investigate the acute effect of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor on erectile dysfunction by evaluating serum oxidative status and prolidase activity. METHODS Serum samples of 36 patients with erectile dysfunction and 30 control cases were analyzed for total antioxidant status, total oxidant status, and prolidase activity, before and after the administration of tadalafil citrate. RESULTS Before and after tadalafil citrate administration, serum total antioxidant status, total oxidant status, and prolidase were 1.1+0.0 vs. 1.6 + 0.0 umol H₂O₂ Eq/L, 10.3+1.1 vs. 6.9 + 1.2 umol H₂O₂ Eq/L, and 236.4+19.5 vs. 228.2 + 19.2 U/L, respectively (p < 0.0001 for all). CONCLUSIONS Evaluation of serum oxidative status and prolidase activity confirmed the beneficial acute effects of PDE5 inhibitor in patients with erectile dysfunction.

Introduction: Diabetes through sex hormone deficiency can cause erectile dysfunction in type 2 diabetic men, however, resistance training can improve diabetes by reducing complications of this disorder. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of resistance training on serum levels of dihydropyronestrone, estradiol and erectile dysfunction in type 2 diabetic men. Meth...
متن کاملThe association of serum prolidase activity and erectile dysfunction.
Prolidase is a cytosolic exopeptidase that cleaves iminodipeptides with carboxy-terminal proline or hydroxyproline and plays a major role in collagen turnover. Collagen is the essential content in atherosclerotic plaque, playing a key role in the stability/instability and progression of endothelial dysfunction in the pathogenesis of erectile dysfunction (ED). Consequently, in this study we soug...

The number of the circulating angiogenic cells (CACs) and colony forming units (CFUs) derived from cultured circulating mononuclear cells (MNCs) represents a laboratory surrogate for endothelial cell repair ability. The serum of men with erectile dysfunction (ED) and vascular risk factors (VRFs) showed an increased level of endothelial cell damage/dysfunction markers and reduced the numbers of ...

Male erectile dysfunction is a common medical condition. Recent advances in our understanding of corpora cavernosa physiology have resulted in three effective oral medications (sildenafil, vardenafil and tadalafil--all phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors), which can effectively treat many men with erectile dysfunction. However, a large number of men are not adequately treated by these medicatio...
