ATVB in Focus The Role of Adenosine in Response to Vascular Inflammation
The erectile status of penile tissue is governed largely by the tone of cavernosal smooth muscle cells, which is determined by the balance of vascular relaxants and constrictors. Vascular relaxants play a key role in regulating the tone of cavernosal smooth muscle and thus the initiation and maintenance of penile erection. Early studies drew attention to the potential role of adenosine signalin...
متن کاملGene transfer of extracellular SOD to the penis reduces O2-* and improves erectile function in aged rats.
Increased superoxide anion (O(2)(-).) may contribute to vascular dysfunction in aging. In aged cavernosal tissue, lucigenin-enhanced chemiluminescence demonstrated a threefold increase in superoxide formation, and the oxidative fluorescent probe hydroethidine indicated higher superoxide levels throughout the aged penis. This increase in superoxide was associated with impaired cavernosal nerve-m...
متن کاملTestosterone improves erectile function through inhibition of reactive oxygen species generation in castrated rats.
Testosterone is overwhelmingly important in regulating erectile physiology. However, the associated molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to explore the effects and mechanisms of testosterone in erectile dysfunction (ED) in castrated rats. Forty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized to four groups (control, sham-operated, castration and castration-with-tes...
متن کاملRecent Advances in T Cell Signaling in Aging
The immune system of mammalian organisms undergoes alterations that may account for an increased susceptibility to certain infections, autoimmune diseases, or malignancies. Well characterized are age related defect in T cell functions and cell mediated immunity. Although it is well established that the functional properties of T cells decrease with age, its biochemical and molecular nature is...
متن کاملMicroRNA Regulation of Adipose Derived Stem Cells in Aging Rats
BACKGROUND Perturbations in abdominal fat secreted adipokines play a key role in metabolic syndrome. This process is further altered during the aging process, probably due to alterations in the preadipocytes (aka. stromal vascular fraction cells-SVF cells or adipose derived stem cells-ASCs) composition and/or function. Since microRNAs regulate genes involved both in development and aging proces...
