Studies have shown that over 50% of men with diabetes experience difficulties with their sexual function. This difficulty is called erectile dysfunction, also known as ED, which means it is impossible to have or maintain an artery sufficient for sexual intercourse. It has been shown that erectile dysfunction occurs in men with diabetes fifteen years earlier than in men who do not have diabetes.
Leading Medical Journal Molecular and cellular proteomics recently reported research by scientists from University of the West Reserve and Albert Einstein College of Medicine relatively new connection between erectile dysfunction and type 2 diabetes.
Debate on this issue has continued since it was found that men living with diabetes have a higher level of sexual dysfunction than the general population. This conclusion also sparked a lively discussion about whether doctors treating diabetics should ask about the impotence of their patients.
Sometimes impotence can sometimes be associated with too much alcohol, stress or anxiety. But frequent erectile dysfunction is often a sign of a serious health problem.
A new study has shown that type 2 diabetes can alter the molecular structure of the male body in a way that affects erectile effectiveness. This is important because it is estimated that 75% of affected men experience the problem to a lesser or greater extent.
Although prootomic studies of scientists were carried out on rats, experts nevertheless assess the results as being of great importance.
Proteome is a collective term for all the different proteins in the body. Proteotomics studies how proteins interact with each other, and the changes that this leads to overcoming them.
In the case of a reported study, researchers studied the relative amounts of proteins in the expandable tissue, which flows along the length of the penis and is filled with blood when the flow occurs. The rats used in the study were at different stages of development of type 2 diabetes ... it was found that the identified fifty-seven individual proteins either increased or decreased, depending on the severity of the diabetes and the time it suffered. These results were compared with a control group consisting of healthy, non-diabetic rats.
Professor Mark Chance, who led the joint research team, reported that collagen proteins that affect strength were less common in the penis of diabetic rats than in the control group, and were also proteins responsible for transporting hormones and people responsible for cell death. . He expressed the hope that the study would lead to further research leading to improved diagnosis and treatment.
Although carried out in rats, recent studies of erectile dysfunction have significantly advanced knowledge on the topic of association with type 2 diabetes.
