Urotensin II

[Flavio]

Italian scientists from Naples University have located a specific molecule in the body called urotensin II that creates spontaneous erections in mice.

Urotensin II is founded in the human central nervous system and when it is administered it immediately produces a release of nitric oxide which in turn makes blood vessels dilate - just like Viagra, Cialis and Levitra do.

It's still too early to see any practical results but this is definitely good news. In the future, this may lead to the development of new ED drugs.

This study will be published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine soon.
