Abstract Tadalafil is a selective phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor commonly used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction and benign prostatic hyperplasia. Its mechanism of action involves the inhibition of PDE5, leading to increased levels of nitric oxide and cyclic guanosine...

ABSTRACT Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death worldwide. CVDs are promoted by the accumulation of lipids and immune cells in the endothelial space resulting in endothelial dysfunction. Endothelial cells are important components of the vascular endothelium, that regulate...

Beyond Erectile Dysfunction: cGMP-Specific Phosphodiesterase 5 Inhibitors for Other Clinical Disorders (2022) Arun Samidurai, Lei Xi, Anindita Das, and Rakesh C. Kukreja Abstract Cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), an important intracellular second messenger, mediates cellular functional...

Endothelial Dysfunction, Erectile Deficit, and Cardiovascular Disease: An Overview of the Pathogenetic Links (2022) Federico De Leonardis, Gaia Colalillo, Enrico Finazzi Agrò, Roberto Miano, Andrea Fuschi and Anastasios D. Asimakopoulos Abstract Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a condition with...

The doses were a bit high: 1.33 mmol/kg/d of glycine = 100mg/kg per day 0.81 mmol/kg/d of cysteine (as N-acetylcysteine) = 100mg/kg per day a 70kg person (154lb) would have to take 7g Glycine and 7g NAC per day. Effect of Increasing Glutathione With Cysteine and Glycine Supplementation on...

Objective: To assess whether tadalafil improves endothelial dysfunction(EnD) in a placebo-controlled randomized-control trial. Methods: Erectile dysfunction and EnD were assessed by the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) and flow-mediated dilation (FMD) of the brachial artery...
