Action and Uses |
Osthole is a libido stimulator:
researchers investigate the cavernosal relaxant effect of
osthole, has been long used in China as a herbal medicine to
improve male sexual dysfunction. The data suggested that
osthole posseses a relaxant effect on rabbit corpus
cavernosal tissues which is attributable to the release of
NO from sinusoidal endothelium and to the potentiation of
the cGMP and/or cAMP signal mediating relaxation of
cavernosal smooth muscle by inhibiting phosphodiesterase.
