Famous men's remedy reveals new powers

Scientists have discovered that the drug tadalafil, currently used to treat pulmonary hypertension and male erectile dysfunction, may have the ability to promote muscle regeneration and tissue repair. Laboratory studies on muscle cells taken from mice have shown that the drug increases the number of cells capable of transforming into muscle tissue and reduces their death, enhancing their ability to proliferate and survive. It is believed that the drug's effect is due to its inhibition of the enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5, which prolongs the action of cyclic guanosine monophosphate—the molecule responsible for regulating the muscle regeneration process. These findings suggest that tadalafil could potentially contribute to improving muscle formation in the future, but further in-depth studies are still needed to determine its long-term effects on muscle strength and function.
