Relaxin‐2 improves type I diabetes mellitus‐induced erectile dysfunction in rats by protecting cavernous endothelial and smooth muscle function, and inhibiting penile fibrosis and apoptosis

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Diabetes mellitus‐induced erectile dysfunction (DMED) responds poorly to first‐line treatments, necessitating the development of new therapeutic strategies. Relaxin‐2 (RLX‐2) plays a crucial role in protecting vascular endothelium, vasodilatation, and antifibrosis in various diseases.

PDE7A1 hydrolyzes cCMP [PDF]

, 2014
The degradation and biological role of the cyclic pyrimidine nucleotide cCMP is largely elusive. We investigated nucleoside 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate (cNMP) specificity of six different recombinant phosphodiesterases (PDEs) by using a highly-sensitive ...

Research progress of phosphodiesterase 5 in heart failure [PDF]

Jichu yixue yu linchuang
Phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5), a cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-specific hydrolase, is targets cGMP produced by soluble guanosine cyclase (sGC) that is activated by nitric oxide (NO). It catalyzes the hydrolysis of the phosphodiester bond in cGMP and

Targeting acetylated high mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1) and toll‐like receptor (TLR4) interaction to alleviate hypertension and neuroinflammation in fructose‐fed rats

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Our previous study reported that fructose intake increased systemic blood pressure and reduced nitric oxide (NO) in the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) due to oxidative stress and neuroinflammation. However, it remains unclear how reactive oxygen species (ROS) reduce NO and how this process impacts neuroinflammation in ...

Klebsiella pneumoniae contributes to altered cytotoxicity of thiopurines in vitro: Possible implications of biotransformation and bacterial metabolism

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and purpose Thiopurines are used in paediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but some patients do not respond. Because the gut microbiota influences drug efficacy and IBD‐patient microbiota presents increased bacterial abundance, we investigated the impact of candidate Enterobacteriaceae on drug cytotoxicity, metabolism and ...

CDPKs: The critical decoders of calcium signal at various stages of malaria parasite development

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2021
Calcium ions are used as important signals during various physiological processes. In malaria parasites, Plasmodium spp., calcium dependent protein kinases (CDPKs) have acquired the unique ability to sense and transduce calcium signals at various ...

Effect of caffeine on erectile function via up-regulating cavernous cyclic guanosine monophosphate in diabetic rats.

Journal of Andrology, 2008
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common complication of diabetes mellitus. Phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitors, which inhibit the breakdown of intracellular cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), are used to treat diabetic ED.
