Helospectin from Heloderma Venom: A VIP‐Like Vasodilatory Peptide for Erectile Dysfunction and Clitoral Engorgement—A Theoretical Preclinical Proposal

2025-12-08

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Erectile dysfunction (ED) affects approximately 52% of men aged 40–70 years in population-based cohorts and is strongly associated with vascular and metabolic disease, particularly diabetes mellitus.[1] In Saudi Arabia, diabetes prevalence in adults is estimated at over 20%, magnifying the burden of vasculogenic ED.[2] Phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors (PDE5i) improve erectile function but have...
