Regular erections may be important for maintaining erectile function. This was shown by a study on mice published in the journal. Science.
In a new study, scientists showed that connective tissue cells (fibroblasts) absorb the substance norepinephrine. This causes the blood vessels in the penis to dilate, causing an erection. There were also more fibroblasts in male mice with regular erections. Additionally, the number of these cells decreased with age.
“Fibroblasts are the most abundant cells in the penis in both mice and humans, but have been neglected in research,” said Christian Göritz, a senior researcher in the Department of Cellular and Molecular Biology at Karolinska Institutet, who led the study.
Scientists suggest that people can improve erectile function by having regular erections. However, this hypothesis needs to be confirmed in future studies.
“The basic erection mechanisms are very similar across all mammals in terms of anatomy, cellular structure, etc. But there is one difference between humans and most mammals – they have a bone in their penis. This means that effective regulation of blood flow is probably even more important for human reproduction.” ” explained Goeritz.
