Journal ArticleDOI
Androgens Regulate Phosphodiesterase Type 5 Expression and Functional Activity in Corpora Cavernosa
Annamaria Morelli,Sandra Filippi,Rosa Mancina,Michaela Luconi,Linda Vignozzi,Mirca Marini,Claudio Orlando,Gabriella B. Vannelli,Antonio Aversa,Alessandro Natali,Gianni Forti,Mauro Giorgi,Emmanuele A. Jannini,Fabrizio Ledda,Mario Maggi +14 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated, for the first time, that androgens positively regulate PDE5, thus providing a possible explanation about the highest abundance of this enzyme in male genital tract.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization and Functional Role of Androgen-Dependent PDE5 Activity in the Bladder
Sandra Filippi,Annamaria Morelli,Peter Sandner,Benedetta Fibbi,Rosa Mancina,Mirca Marini,Mauro Gacci,Linda Vignozzi,Gabriella B. Vannelli,Marco Carini,Gianni Forti,Mario Maggi +11 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that PDE5 regulates bladder smooth muscle tone, strongly limiting the nitric oxide/cGMP signaling, and that vardenafil, by blocking PDE 5, may be a possible therapeutic option for bladder dysfunction by ameliorating irritative lower urinary tract symptoms.

Xin-Hua Zhang,Annamaria Morelli,Michaela Luconi,Linda Vignozzi,Sandra Filippi,Mirca Marini,Gabriella B. Vannelli,Rosa Mancina,Gianni Forti,Mario Maggi +9 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that testosterone positively regulates PDE5 expression and in vivo responsiveness to PDE4 inhibitor, tadalafil, in the rat corpus cavernosum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Testosterone protects from metabolic syndrome-associated prostate inflammation: an experimental study in rabbit.
Linda Vignozzi,Annamaria Morelli,Erica Sarchielli,Paolo Comeglio,Sandra Filippi,Ilaria Cellai,Elena Maneschi,Sergio Serni,Mauro Gacci,Marco Carini,Marie-Pierre Piccinni,Farid Saad,Luciano Adorini,Gabriella B. Vannelli,Mario Maggi +14 more
TL;DR: It is highlighted that testosterone protects rabbit prostate from MetS-induced prostatic hypoxia, fibrosis, and inflammation, which can play a role toward the development/progression of BPH/LUTS.
