• W4229373807 abstract "ABSTRACT Introduction The endocrine disease frequently interrupts sexual function, and sexual dysfunction may signal serious endocrine disease. Recent studies have claimed an association with hypothyroidism, low testosterone (T) levels and erectile dysfunction (ED), but causality is unclear. There is no study on the experimental model of hypothyroidism that was induced in rats by administration of propylthiouracil (PTU). Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate the deleterious effects of PTU-induced hypothyroidism on ED and T levels. In addition, Levothyroxine is known worldwide as the most common and least effective drug for controlling hypothyroidism. Methods Adult Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 35) were divided into five groups; control, PTU-induced hypothyroidism, PTU+ Levothyroxine, PTU+ Sustanon (a mixture of 4 types of T: propionate, phenylpropionate, isocaproate, decanoate) and PTU+ Levothyroxine + Sustanon. PTU was given in drinking water (0.05%) for 6 weeks. 4 weeks after the beginning of PTU treatment, Levothyroxine (20 mg/kg/day, oral) and Sustanon (10 mg/kg, I.M., once/week) were given for 2 weeks. Serum levels of total T, triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) were determined. The ratio of intracavernosal pressure (ICP) to mean arterial pressure (MAP) and total ICP were measured by cavernous nerve stimulation. The relaxant and contractile responses were evaluated on in vitro preparations of corpus cavernosum (CC) strips. The expression and localization of neuronal (nNOS), endothelial NOS (eNOS) and phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5​) were determined using Western blotting and immunohistochemistry. The relative area of smooth muscle to collagen was measured using Masson trichrome staining. Results The rat model of hypothyroidism showed a significant decline in serum levels of total T, T3 and T4. Levothyroxine increased T3 and T4 levels while Sustanon normalized only total T levels. In addition, combined treatment of Levothyroxine and Sustanon enhanced all hormone levels. Rats with hypothyroidism displayed the lowest ICP/MAP ratio and total ICP for 7.5 V (P &lt; .001 vs controls). Combined treatment returned reduced ICP/MAP and total ICP responses, while partial amelioration was observed after Levothyroxine and Sustanon treatment alone. In vitro endothelium-dependent acetylcholine-caused relaxation at 1 nM (P &lt; .001 vs controls), electrical field stimulation-induced relaxant response at 20 Hz (P &lt; .001 vs controls) and sildenafil-induced relaxation at 10 µM (P &lt; .05 vs controls) were decreased in the CC strips from hypothyroid rats. The treatment with Levothyroxine and Sustanon increased the reduction in relaxation responses. Decreased in the expressions of eNOS and nNOS and increased in the expressions of PDE5 in the hypothyroid group were restored by Levothyroxine and Sustanon. Mono-treatment partially enhanced reduced smooth muscle mass while combined therapy completely recovered. Conclusions These results show that hypothyroidism adversely affects T levels and erectile responses via decreasing neurogenic and endothelium-dependent relaxation responses which were reversed by the combination therapy with Levothyroxine and Sustanon. Even though the associated alterations in T levels, ED and its reversibility indicate an exact role of thyroid hormones in the erection physiology.
