March 3, 2009 -- The stench of rotten eggs seems an unlikely aphrodisiac. But new research suggests that a foul-smelling gas could someday become the target of new drugs for erectile dysfunction.
Hydrogen sulfide is present in raw natural gas and in the odor of rotting eggs. Our bodies also produce tiny quantities of hydrogen sulfide, but the gas was long thought to be only a toxic by-product of metabolism.
Research early this decade revealed that many animals actually use hydrogen sulfide to help expand blood vessels. Chemicals that create these expansions in blood flow are called vasodilators.
In previous experiments in mice and monkeys, injecting hydrogen sulfide opened blood vessels and improved erections. But the same chemical pathways weren't yet proven to function in people.
Hydrogen Sulfide for Erectile Dysfunction
For the new study, researchers at the University of Naples in Italy studied penile tissue samples obtained from humans.
They found the same enzymes that produce hydrogen sulfide in animals were present and functional in human tissue. The chemical reactions that produce hydrogen sulfide were generally the same, too. The scientists concluded that hydrogen sulfide does likely contribute to erections in men, just as in animal studies.
Viagra and other drugs for erectile dysfunction work by boosting the effects of nitric oxide, another vasodilator. Viagra slows down a specific enzyme, prolonging nitric oxide's actions. Blood vessels in the penis expand, and erections result from the increased blood flow.
The researchers say greater understanding of hydrogen sulfide's separate chemical pathway could eventually lead to new treatments for erectile dysfunction. The study appears in the online early edition of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

SOFTER THAN AN APPLE PIE-
Yes that’s what impotence is all about. Some of us just can’t get it up, OR- If we can, then it just don’t stay up there long enough for our partners to mount a decent attack. Yes, we have tried the blue pills, but less than 50% of us have any joy with those, so imagine how that feels. Still not getting a decent stiffy when taking the supposed wonder drug. The answer is about as low as the belly of a sausage dog.
Fortunately there are alternatives and if you are lucky someone has already told you about HealthyED pills. If not then get yourself off to their site and buy some pronto fellas. These pills are clinically proven to improve sexual function in over 80% of all men that take them. They work on the body in the same ways as the major chemical blue pills but as they are natural there are no side effects and better results. The full clinical trial is online along with information about how and why HealthyED works so well is all on their internet site.
Just call me bigboy.
Anomal strikes again. We are famous throughout the whole world. Why not try http://www.rotten.com?
