Journal ArticleDOI
Patient-reported urinary continence and sexual function after anatomic radical prostatectomy.
TL;DR: Patient-reported rates of continence and potency after radical prostatectomy performed by an experienced surgeon at a high-volume referral center for the treatment of localized prostate cancer are high.
Journal ArticleDOI
Localization of nitric oxide synthase in the reproductive organs of the male rat.
Arthur L. Burnett,Deborah D. Ricker,Shelly L. Chamness,Michael P. Maguire,Julie K. Crone,David S. Bredt,Solomon H. Snyder,Thomas S.K. Chang +7 more
TL;DR: Nitric oxide synthase (NOS), which catalyzes the production of nitric oxide (NO), was characterized within the reproductive tract of adult male Sprague-Dawley rats by means of biochemical and immunohistochemical techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of androgen on nitric oxide synthase in the male reproductive tract of the rat
Shelly L. Chamness,Deborah D. Ricker,Julie K. Crone,Carle L. Dembeck,Michael P. Maguire,Arthur L. Burnett,Thomas S.K. Chang +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the presence of N -nitro-larginine methyl ester (l-NAME) inhibitor in the male reproductive tract was confirmed by using the nitric oxide synthase-specific inhibitor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization and localization of nitric oxide synthase in the human prostate
Arthur L. Burnett,Michael P. Maguire,Michael P. Maguire,Shelly L. Chamness,Shelly L. Chamness,Deborah D. Ricker,Deborah D. Ricker,Masayuki Takeda,Masayuki Takeda,Herbert Lepor,Herbert Lepor,Thomas S.K. Chang,Thomas S.K. Chang +12 more
TL;DR: The present evidence implicates NO in the automatic innervation and physiology of the human prostate, and it is proposed that NO may modulate smooth muscle tone and secretory functions in thehuman prostate, although functional studies are needed to support these hypotheses.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of platelet-activating factor on the motility of human spermatozoa
Deborah D. Ricker,Deborah D. Ricker,Brijinder S. Minhas,Brijinder S. Minhas,Raj Kumar,Raj Kumar,J. Leonard Robertson,J. Leonard Robertson,Melvin G. Dodson,Melvin G. Dodson +9 more
TL;DR: Treatment of spermatozoa with PAF in severely asthenozoospermic males may be of therapeutic value, and the effects of synthetic PAF on the motility of human spermutozoa were evaluated.
