Objective: To evaluate potential in vitro relaxant actions of sildenafil on human isolated bladder neck smooth muscle.
Methods: Bladder neck strips were sampled from patients (aged 55-77 years) submitted to prostatic surgery (6 adenomectomies and 1 radical prostatectomy). These were carefully dissected into 1-2 x 0.
Objective: To investigate the effects of sildenafil on noradrenaline- and potassium-induced contractions of isolated human seminal vesicles (SVs), as premature ejaculation is a relatively common male sexual dysfunction that currently lacks an adequate therapy, and recent in vitro tests showed that sildenafil induces relaxation of rodent isolated SVs, but it is not known whether it also inhibits isolated human SV.
Material And Methods: Isolated strips of human SVs were suspended in an organ bath and cumulative concentration-response curves to either noradrenaline or KCl were constructed in the presence and absence of sildenafil to evaluate its inhibitory actions.
Results: Sildenafil (25-100 microm) induced concentration-dependent inhibitory effects on the human SV contracted by either noradrenaline or KCl.
