CHRONIC CIGARETTE SMOKING IMPAIRS ERECTILE FUNCTION THROUGH INCREASED OXIDATIVE STRESS AND APOPTOSIS, DECREASED NNOS, ENDOTHELIAL AND SMOOTH MUSCLE CONTENTS IN A RAT MODEL.

Cigarette use is an independent risk factor for the development of erectile dysfunction (ED).While the association between chronic smoking and ED is well established, the fundamental mechanism(s) of cigarette-related ED are incompletely understood, partly due to no reliable animal model of smoking-induced ED.The present study was designed to valida

The muscles that control the pupil are richly innervated by the autonomic nervous system.While there are central pathways that drive pupil dilations in Locks relation to arousal, there is no anatomical evidence that cortical centers involved with visual selective attention innervate the pupil.In this study, we show that such connections must exist.

The failure of mooring lines in net cages could lead to the death or escape of farmed fish, which causes huge economic losses and immeasurable ecological impacts.Therefore, it is very important to ensure the safety of the cage mooring system in practical applications.This study experimentally and numerically investigates the hydrodynamic behaviors

As part of a continuous effort to investigate the viral communities associated with wild mammals at the human–animal interface in an Amazonian metropolitan region, this study describes the detection of a novel rodent-borne arterivirus.A sample containing pooled organs of Oecomys paricola was submitted to RNA sequencing, and four sequences taxonom

¿Cómo opera el proceso del gusto y de la emoción estética en la disgregación entre el sujeto y el objeto posmodernos? La pluralidad y heterogeneidad, lo multiprocesal conforman el corpus del juicio de gusto actual.Su resultado es la construcción de otros tipos de figuras del mundo, nuevas imágenes de lo real, diversas y distintas, creadas a
