Effect of chronic periodontitis on the endothelial glycocalyx of rat penile corpus cavernosum
Chronic periodontitis can degrade eGlx on the rat penile corpus cavernosum by increasing serum CRP, TNF-α, and IL-6 levels, reducing the p-eNOS/eNOS ratio and the NO concentration in penile cavernous tissue, and resulting in the inhibition of the erectile function. Heparin inhibited eGlx decomposition and improved erectile function in rats with chronic periodontitis.
