“…In this study, the volume of the seminal vesicles was not found to be correlated with sexual desire or erectile function, although in a previous study the volume of the seminal vesicles did reflect sexual function (Taniguchi et al, ). That study, however, included patients who were taking silodosin for benign prostate hyperplasia.…”

Psoas muscle volume is correlated with sexual activity and erectile dysfunction among patients with localised prostate cancer

Several endocrinological and physical activities orchestrate men's sexual activities.To determine whether body composition calculated by computed tomography measurements is useful for estimating sexual function, we evaluated sexual function of localised prostate cancer patients using the Sexual Health Inventory for Men score, an original questionnaire, and computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.The imaging was performed to determine body composition, particularly the psoas muscle. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify factors affecting sexual activity. The multivariate analysis showed that the volume of the psoas muscle was significantly correlated with sexual activity (odds ratio [95% confidence interval]) (2.507 [1.029-6.109], p = 0.043) and erectile dysfunction (0.261 [0.098-0.692], p = 0.006). We concluded that the psoas muscle is an important predictor of sexual activity and erectile function. K E Y W O R D Serectile dysfunction, psoas muscle, sexual function, SHIM score

“…These differences could be explained by the fact that our rats got DM just for short time than other studies [ 10 , 11 , 26 ]. Lager seminal vesical may be related to higher sexual activity was reported in the human study [ 27 ]. A similar finding was also reported in a study by Birkhauser et al [ 28 ], showing that mice with larger seminal vesicles had a remarkably higher intromission rate than mice with smaller seminal vesicles.…”

Sexual dysfunction is a common problem for men with diabetes. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is known to ameliorate erectile function in aging rats. However, there has not yet been a report to evaluate its effects on diabetic male rat sexual behavior in the literature. In this study, we investigated the effects of EGCG on male sexual behavior in diabetic rats. Diabetic rats were induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of 65 mg/kg of streptozotocin. After streptozotocin injection for one week, animals were then orally treated with 40 mg/kg of EGCG or vehicle. Copulatory behavior and fasting blood glucose levels were recorded before treatment, as well as 7 and 14 days after treatment. Serum LH, testosterone, and PDE5a levels were measured by EIA assay after the last behavioral test. Data showed that diabetic rats who had diminished sexual functions demonstrated significantly increased latencies in mount, intromission, and ejaculation, as well as significant decreases in frequencies of intromission and ejaculation, compared to non-diabetic controls, indicating sexual function recovery. Lower blood glucose levels were also found in diabetic rats after EGCG treatment. Additionally, the lower LH and higher PDE5a levels in diabetic rats than controls were also noted. The findings declared that EGCG had a protective effect on male sexual behavior in diabetic rats.

“…Body composition changes were independent of normal growth as tibia length was not altered by FOLFOX treatment (Table 1). Seminal vesicle mass is considered an indirect marker of male gonadal function 40,41 . At four cycles of FOLFOX treatment seminal vesicle mass was reduced (−21%), which returned to PBS values at 10 weeks recovery (Table 1).…”

Short duration treadmill exercise improves physical function and skeletal muscle mitochondria protein expression after recovery from FOLFOX chemotherapy in male mice

et al. 2022

FOLFOX (5‐FU, leucovorin, oxaliplatin) is a chemotherapy treatment for colorectal cancer which induces toxic side effects involving fatigue, weakness, and skeletal muscle dysfunction. There is a limited understanding of the recovery from these toxicities after treatment cessation. Exercise training can improve chemotherapy‐related toxicities. However, how exercise accelerates recovery and the dose required for these benefits are not well examined. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of exercise duration on physical function, muscle mass, and mitochondria protein expression during the recovery from FOLFOX chemotherapy. 12‐week‐old male mice were administered four cycles of either PBS or FOLFOX over 8‐weeks. Outcomes were assessed after the fourth cycle and after either 4 (short‐term; STR) or 10 weeks (long‐term; LTR) recovery. Subsets of mice performed 14 sessions (6 d/wk, 18 m/min, 5% grade) of 60 min/d (long) or 15 min/d (short duration) treadmill exercise during STR. Red and white gastrocnemius mRNA and protein expression were examined. FOLFOX treatment decreased run time (RT) (−53%) and grip strength (GS) (−9%) compared to PBS. FOLFOX also reduced muscle OXPHOS complexes, COXIV, and VDAC protein expression. At LTR, FOLFOX RT (−36%) and GS (−16%) remained reduced. Long‐ and short‐duration treadmill exercise improved RT (+58% and +56%) without restoring GS in FOLFOX mice. Both exercise durations increased muscle VDAC and COXIV expression in FOLFOX mice. These data provide evidence that FOLFOX chemotherapy induces persistent deficits in physical function that can be partially reversed by short‐duration aerobic exercise.
