勃起功能障碍与代谢综合征研究进展

Relationship Between Erectile Dysfunction and Metabolic Syndrome

勃起功能障碍(ED)和代谢综合征(MS)都与心血管疾病有着密切的关系,随着研究的深入,人们开始寻找两者之间存在的直接关联并取得了较大进展。MS与ED之间存在密切关系:MS患者的ED发病率明显高于非MS患者,与MS相关的性腺功能减退也会促进ED的发生,而针对MS的饮食和体育锻炼治疗可以有效逆转ED的进程。进一步研究还发现,内皮细胞损伤及血浆炎症反应标志物水平增高等因素可能是MS与ED之间密切联系的机制所在。本文对近年来关于ED与MS关系的研究结果进行归纳阐述,以期为今后MS患者的ED诊疗及进一步开展相关研究提供参考。

Erectile dysfunction （ED） and metabolic syndrome （MS） are both closely related to coronary artery disease. Researchers have already made some progress in searching for the direct link between these two diseases. The incidence of ED in patie;Its with MS is apparently higher than in those without it, and MS-associated hypogonadism also promotes the development of ED. Diet and exercise therapies aiming at MS can reverse the progress of ED. Further studies also show that endothelial cell injury and increased level of plasma inflammatory markers may imply the mechanism underlying the close relationship between MS and ED.
