The effect of selective 5-hydroxytryptamine uptake inhibitors on 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine-induced ejaculation in the rat.

The ejaculatory response and the 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) behavioural syndrome induced by 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (5-MeODMT) (3 mg kg-1 i.p.) were studied following acute and repeated treatment of rats with the selective uptake inhibitors of 5-HT, fluoxetine, zimeldine, alaproclate, and citalopram. The oral doses used were based on the respective ED50 values for uptake inhibition. Acute doses of fluoxetine and zimeldine significantly reduced the ejaculatory response when given 48 h before 5-MeODMT. This blockade was prevented by treatment of the rats with the postsynaptic 5-HT receptor antagonist methergoline. An acute dose of fluoxetine given 7 and 14 days before 5-MeODMT significantly enhanced the ejaculatory response. On day 24, the response returned to the control level. Repeated treatment every second day (5 times over 9 days and 10 times over 19 days) with fluoxetine caused a longer blockade of the ejaculatory response and the sensitization of the response came later than after an acute dose. Parallel with the ejaculatory response three other components of the 5-HT behavioural syndrome also decreased significantly. Acute doses of alaproclate and citalopram significantly blocked the ejaculatory response at 1 h, but they failed to affect the response at any other time point after either acute or repeated treatment. Neither did these drugs attentuate the 5-HT syndrome. It is concluded that acute and repeated treatment of rats with different selective 5-HT uptake inhibitors does not produce a common alteration in 5-HT2-receptor functions.

Evaluation of tamsulosin and alfuzosin activity in the rat vas deferens: relevance to ejaculation delays.

The effect of two alpha-adrenergic receptor antagonists widely employed in the therapy of benign prostatic hyperplasia, tamsulosin [(-)-(R)-5-[2-[[2-(0-ethoxyphenoxy) ethyl]amino]propyl]-2-methoxybenzenesulfonamide] and alfuzosin [(+/-)-N-[3-[(4-amino-6,7-dimethoxy-2-quinazolinyl) methylamino]propyl] tetrahydro-2-furancarboxamide], was investigated in the rat vas deferens. Because several clinical studies have shown that tamsulosin causes ejaculatory disorders, this study also evaluated the possible mechanisms implicated in these disorders by comparing the effect of tamsulosin with that of alfuzosin. Tamsulosin competitively antagonized the contractions induced by noradrenaline in vitro in the epididymal portion of the vas deferens with a potency pA(2) value of 9.2 +/- 0.8. In the prostatic portion, tamsulosin increased the amplitude of intermittent spikes induced by exogenous noradrenaline (100-1000 microM). In both portions of the vas deferens, alfuzosin behaved as an alpha-adrenergic antagonist blocking the contractions induced by exogenous noradrenaline without altering spikes. The administration of tamsulosin (3 microg/kg i.v.) significantly reduced the contractions evoked by electrical pulses in the epididymal portion, whereas it increased those produced in the prostatic portion. Intravenous tamsulosin antagonized the contraction produced by exogenous noradrenaline, whereas alfuzosin administration (10 microg/kg i.v.) did not change the electrically induced contractions in both portions of the rat vas deferens and did not antagonize the contractions produced by exogenous noradrenaline. The fact that tamsulosin unusually enhances noradrenaline-induced intermittent spike contractions and nerve stimulation-induced twitches in the prostatic portions might be linked to its greater propensity to cause sexual dysfunctions.

Haemorrhage from the bovine penis during erection and ejaculation: a possible explanation of some cases.

Leakage of polyester resin from the cavernous spaces of the corpus spongiosum penis (csp) into the terminal part of the urethral lumen was demonstrated in one post mortem specimen. No information was available on service performance or semen characteristics immediately before slaughter. It is suggested that haemorrhage from the csp into the urethral lumen may cause spurting of blood from the apex of the penis at service.
