Vitamin D deficiency induces erectile dysfunction: Role of superoxide and Slpi

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 15, Page 3669-3687, August 2025.
Background and Purpose Epidemiological studies suggest a relationship between vitamin D deficiency and erectile dysfunction (ED). We hypothesized that vitamin D deficiency or vitamin D receptor (VDR) knockout causes ED and analysed the underlying molecular mechanisms.

Inhibition of Gastric Acid Secretion by Unfractionated and Low Molecular Weight Heparins in the Rat

The Scientific World Journal, 2006
The majority of patients receiving heparin preparations are at stress, which is a risk factor for the development of gastric erosions. Our aim was to examine the effect of unfractionated heparin (UFH) and low molecular weight heparins (LMWHs) on gastric ...

Activation of neural cholecystokinin-1 receptors induces relaxation of the isolated rat duodenum which is reduced by nitric oxide synthase inhibitors

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2006
Cholecystokinin (CCK) influences gastrointestinal motility, by acting on central and peripheral receptors. The aim of the present study was to determine whether CCK has any effect on isolated duodenum longitudinal muscle activity and to characterize the ...

Innervation and immunohistochemical characteristics of epididymis in alpaca camelid (Vicugna pacos) [PDF]

, 2013
Alpacas (Vicugna pacos) are domesticated camelids indigenous to south America and recently also bred in Europe and Italy for their high quality wool. There is little data available regarding the innervation of the male reproductive tract of this species.

Toll‐like receptor 4 deficiency ameliorates experimental ileitis and enteric neuropathy: Involvement of nitrergic and 5‐hydroxytryptaminergic neurotransmission

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 8, Page 1803-1822, April 2025.
Abstract Background and Purpose Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients display genetic polymorphisms in toll‐like receptor 4 (TLR4) genes, contributing to dysregulate enteric nervous system (ENS) circuits with increased levels of 5‐HT and alteration of the neuroimmune crosstalk.

Role of the calcium‐sensing receptor in regulating vascular function

Journal of Cell Communication and Signaling, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2025.
Representation of the role of the CaSR in the vasculature shows that a rise in extracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]o) stimulates the CaSR expressed at the plasma membrane of perivascular sensory nerves, VECs, and VSMCs, which leads to the release of vasodilator substances (e.g., calcitonin‐related gene‐related peptide (CGRP), substance P (Sub P ...

Endothelium-Derived Relaxing Factor–Mediated Vasodilation in Mouse Mesenteric Vascular Beds

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2012
The endothelium in rat mesenteric vascular beds has been demonstrated to regulate vascular tone by releasing mainly endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF), which is involved in the activation of K+ channels and gap-junctions.

Complex regional pain syndrome in a competitive athlete and regional osteoporosis assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry: a case report. [PDF]

, 2014
Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry is rarely utilized in the clinical care of patients with complex regional pain syndrome, but may be useful for the non-invasive determination of regional bone fragility and fracture risk, as well as muscular atrophy and ...
