erectile dysfunction/triglyceride

Background: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is often associated with endocrine metabolic diseases such as metabolic syndrome (MetS) and diabetes mellitus (DM), in which insulin resistance (IR) plays a decisive role in pathology.

The atherogenic role of triglycerides (TG) remains controversial. The aim of the present study is to analyze the contribution of TG in the pathogenesis of erectile dysfunction (ED) and to verify the value of elevated TG in predicting major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). An unselected series

OBJECTIVE To determine whether the severity of erectile dysfunction (ED) in a man diagnosed with late-onset hypogonadism (LOH) gives information about his metabolic syndrome state, as patients with LOH often have sexual symptoms and associated cardiovascular and metabolic comorbidities, but the role

BACKGROUND The role of testosterone deficiency in erectile dysfunction (ED) is increasingly recognized; however, there is a need to clarify the nature of the relationship between ED and late onset hypogonadism (LOH). OBJECTIVE In this study, we sought to determine the correlators of ED severity

Although it is clear that cigarette abuse is closely linked to sexual dysfunction, it is still unclear which are the psychobiological correlates of smoking among individuals with sexual dysfunction. The aim of the present study is the assessment of the organic, psychogenic and relational correlates

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of erectile dysfunction (ED) in a sample of type 2 diabetic patients. As secondary endpoint, we evaluated the levels of some adipocytokines in patients with and without ED. METHODS We enrolled 220 males affected by type 2 diabetes

BACKGROUND The association between prediabetes (PreDM) and erectile dysfunction (ED) has been analyzed scantly. OBJECTIVE To assess the association between PreDM and erectile function (EF) in a cohort of white European men with ED. METHODS Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data from 372

This study aimed to measure the serum endocan level of patients with erectile dysfunction (ED) and to investigate the possible association between the Endothelial-specific molecule-1 (Endocan) level and ED. Twenty healthy and sixty-four male patients included in the study were divided into four

To evaluate the effect of statins for erectile dysfunction (ED), a systematic review of the literature was conducted in the Cochrane Library, Embase and PubMed from the inception of each database to June 2013. Only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing treatment for ED with statins were

Penile erection is a hemodynamic process consisting of 2 synchronized components in which the first (active) requires proper vascular endothelium functioning, whereas the second one (passive) is based on a veno-occlusive mechanism. Antihypertensive treatment reduces the passive component, often

OBJECTIVE The objective was to determine the role of various components of metabolic syndrome (MetS) as independent risk factor for erectile dysfunction (ED). METHODS A total of 113 subjects of MetS, as recommended by recent IDF and AHA/NHLBI joint interim statement were selected for study who

BACKGROUND Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a frequent complaint of elderly subjects and is closely associated with endothelial dysfunction and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Uric acid is also associated with endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and CVD, raising the hypothesis that an increased

BACKGROUND Erectile dysfunction (ED) is often associated with metabolic disorders. Leptin and adiponectin are adipose tissue-derived hormones involved in the regulation of metabolic homeostasis and considered important players in the relationship among obesity and cardiovascular

BACKGROUND Erectile dysfunction (ED), defined as the inability to achieve and/or maintain a penile erection sufficient for sexual intercourse, is a health problem affecting more than one-half of men between the age of 40 and 70 years. OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to determine the

BACKGROUND Vascular erectile dysfunction (ED) is the expression of a systemic vascular disease and in particular of endothelial dysfunction. Dysfunctional endothelium plays also a significant role in the onset and progression of coronary artery vasculopathy (CAV). OBJECTIVE This pilot study was
