| Brain defect tied to diabetes-related erectile dysfunction
Wednesday, 28 March 2007
Diabetes-related erectile dysfunction is
caused by a defect in the nitric oxide mechanism in a part
of the brain called the paraventricular nucleus, a U.S. study
finds.
The paraventricular nucleus, located in the
hypothalamus, plays a role in many functions, including penis
erection and sexual behavior in such type of medicine Levitra,
Cialis, Viagra.
Sexual dysfunction is a common problem in
men with diabetes. This study offers new information about
the association between diabetes and erectile
dysfunction and may help improve treatments, say researchers
at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha.
After a series of experiments with rats,
the researchers concluded that erectile dysfunction in diabetes
happens because of a defect in the nitric oxide mechanisms
within the paraventricular nucleus. This defect is the loss
of the synthetic enzyme for the production of nitric oxide
within the neurons of the paraventricular nucleus. Restoring
production of this synthetic enzyme may benefit diabetic patients
with erectile dysfunction.
