Objectives: is one ethno-botanicals in Nigeria used by traditional health practitioners in managing several human diseases. However, necessary information regarding its effect on enzymes implicated in the development and progression of erectile dysfunction is missing in the literature. Thus, this study investigated the antioxidant property and impact of extract on erectile dysfunction-related enzymes
Methods: High performance liquid chromatography was used to identify and quantify 's phenolic components. Then, utilizing common antioxidant assays, the extract's antioxidant properties were evaluated and finally the effect of the extract on some enzymes (AChE, arginase and ACE) implicated in erectile dysfunction was investigated .
Results: The results showed that the extract inhibited AChE (IC=388.72 μg/mL), arginase (IC=40.06 μg/mL) and ACE (IC=108.64 μg/mL) activities. In addition, phenolic rich extract of scavenged radicals and chelated Fe in concentration dependent manner. Furthermore, rutin, chlorogenic acid, gallic acid, and kaempferol were found in large quantities by HPLC analysis.
Conclusions: Therefore, one of the potential reasons driving 's use in folk medicine for the treatment of erectile dysfunction could be its antioxidant and inhibitory activities on several enzymes linked to erectile dysfunction .

Background: Some studies suggest a potential association between plasma lipidome and erectile dysfunction (ED), but the underlying mechanism and whether circulating inflammatory proteins act as mediators remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential causal relationships between plasma lipidome, inflammatory proteins, and ED.
Methods: Plasma lipidome, circulating inflammatory proteins, and ED cases were identified based on the summary data from several large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS).

Background And Purpose: The prevalence of sequelae following rectal cancer (RC) treatment is high. We investigate the prevalence and temporal change in sexual dysfunction among male RC patient, along with their counselling and treatment needs and associations between sexual dysfunction and clinical factors. Patient/materials and methods: Patient-reported outcome measures were completed 3 and 12 months after RC surgery.

This study assessed the economic impact of reducing one postoperative visit following inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) implantation. Scenario analyses were used to model the effects of eliminating one 30-min IPP postoperative visit from the expected 2.5 visits accounted for by the American Medical Association resource-based relative value scale data.

Utilizing network pharmacology and molecular docking, we evaluated the possible pharmacological mechanism of Danggui Sini Decoction (DGSND) for treating erectile dysfunction (ED). DGSND's chemical components and targets were found utilizing the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP). Disease-related genes associated with ED were identified through GeneCards, OMIM, TTD, DrugBank, and DisGeNET databases.

Background: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common disease in middle-aged and elderly men, and its etiology is not completely clear. Late-onset hypogonadism (LOH) is a relatively common disease in the aging process of men. BPH is often accompanied by varying degrees of LOH, and the pathogenesis and progression of the two diseases are related.
