USE OF PROANTHOCYANIDINS AS AN ACTIVE INGREDIENT OF A STIMULATOR AND L-ARGININE OR ITS SALTS AS A SOURCE OF NITRIC OXIDE TO RELIEVE SYMPTOMS OF ERECTILE DYSFUNTION

摘要

Use of proanthocyanidins as an active ingredient of a stimulator and L-arginine or its salts as a source of nitric oxide in the treatment of erectile dysfunction. The active ingredient stimulates the endothelial NO-synthase enzyme, which acts as a catalyst for the synthesis of nitric oxide from its substrate L-arginine or its salts. The nitric oxide in turn activates the guanylyl cyclase, which leads to an increased development of cyclic guanosine monophosphate, which causes relaxation of smooth muscles. Blood vessel diameter may increase. The stimulator may also have Sildenafil or enzymes that inhibit an enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5 from reducing an amount of the cyclic guanosine monophosphate.
