Smoking Increases the Risk of Erectile Dysfunction
A prospective study by researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) has found that obesity and smoking are strongly associated with a greater risk of erectile dysfunction (ED). Meanwhile, regular physical activity appeared to have a significant impact on lowering the risk of ED. This is the first large-scale prospective study to examine the links between ED and smoking, obesity, alcohol and a sedentary lifestyle. The study will appear in the July 2006 issue of The Journal of Urology.

Bladder problems increase in men with age
Mayo Clinic researchers studying prostate problems in men report in the current issue of the Journal of Urology that as men grow older their bladder function can worsen and the prostate gland may be responsible.

Additionally, the study notes that as men age, the possibility increases that they will experience problems with urination.

Biljana Musicki et al. demonstrate that the glycosylation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) by the monosaccharide O-GlcNAc inhibits proper erectile function in rats with type 1 diabetes. The phosphorylation of eNOS at Ser-1177 is an important step in the promotion of tumescence.
