Male reproductive health, as indicated by improved semen parameters and increased chances of conceiving, is associated with the Mediterranean diet, while the Western diet is considered a risk factor for male infertility. The potential mechanisms that may explain...
The influence of metabolic profile of obese men on the severity of erectile dys...
Moura, Adriana; Tomada, Inês; Tomada, NunoObjective: To determine the prevalence of erectile dysfunction (ED) in metabolically healthy obese (MHO) individuals, and to compare ED severity and hypogonadism prevalence in MHO, metabolically unhealthy obese (MUO) and metabolically healthy non-obese individuals. Material and methods: ED patients (n=460) were evaluated by standardized protocol, that included clinical evaluation, abridged 5-item version of the...

Hormonal modulation in aging patients with erectile dysfunction and metabolic s...
Costa, Inês Campos; Carvalho, Hugo Nogueira; Pacheco-Figueiredo, Luís; Tomada, Inês; Tomada, NunoErectile dysfunction (ED), metabolic syndrome (MetS), and hypogonadism are closely related, often coexisting in the aging male. Obesity was shown to raise the risk of ED and hypogonadism, as well as other endocrinological disturbances with impact on erectile function. We selected 179 patients referred for ED to our andrology unit, aiming to evaluate gonadotropins and estradiol interplay in context of ED, MetS, ...
Endothelial function in patients with metabolic syndrome and erectile dysfuncti...
Tomada, Nuno; Tomada, Inês; Botelho, Francisco; Figueiredo, Luís Pacheco; Lopes, T.; Negrão, R.; Pestana, M.; Cruz, F.Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a highly prevalent disease whose aetiology is mostly vasculogenic. It is nowadays considered a marker of future cardiovascular events reflecting the underlying endothelial dysfunction, the common link with the metabolic syndrome (MetS). The recent association between MetS, endothelial dysfunction and peripheral artery disease, but not with coronary artery disease (CAD), suggests tha...

Figueiredo, Luís Pacheco; Neves, Eduardo; Coutinho, P.; Botelho, Francisco; Tomada, Inês; Tomada, NunoObjectives: To estimate the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors, including metabolic syndrome (MS), in a series of Portuguese patients with erectile dysfunction (ED) and to quantify their individual and aggregate role regarding penile hemodynamics and degree of ED severity. Material and methods: A cross-sectional study of 408 patients seen in the Urology Department of Hospital Sao Joao (Portugal) within t...
