Article Synopsis
  • Radical prostatectomy often leads to erectile dysfunction (ED), and this study aimed to see if certain biological markers linked to ED could be found in buccal mucosa (cheek tissue) of patients.
  • Before and one year after surgery, erectile function was assessed in 38 men, measuring the expression of nitric oxide synthase, soluble guanylate cyclase, phosphodiesterase-5, and inflammation markers.
  • Results indicated that patients with ED had higher levels of PDE-5 in their buccal mucosa compared to those who recovered erectile function, but there were no differences in other markers or in the genetic variation related to PDE-5.
