Diabetes and Obesity: Phosphodiesterases
 
 
cAMP and cGMP, two important second messengers molecules are hydrolyzed by phosphodiesterases (PDEs) in the cell, leading to cessation of cAMP and cGMP-dependent effects. Due to their involvement in inflammation, asthma, and cardiovascular complications, erectile dysfunctions, PDEs are considered to be attractive targets for pharmacological intervention. Erectile dysfunction is a common multi-factorial complication of diabetes mellitus and PDE V inhibitor therapy has been found to be effective in special clinical populations, such as those with prostate cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
