“Brazilian Spider’s Venom May Result Better Erections When Coupled with Viagra”, Says Brazilian Scientists
Tue, 19 June 2007
Brazilian Spider, often hailed as man’s Latin cousin, may play a credible role into Brazilian scientists’ escapade outlined for the development of a novel and effective cure for erectile dysfunction.
Intense pain, high blood pressure and uncomfortable erection are few common side effects that men experience when the wandering Brazilian spider pours its deadening venom into their body. And with the help of these adverse effects, Brazilian doctors easily spot male victims of the spider’s poisonous bite. If it is proved that venomous bite of Brazilian spider can results an erection in men which lasts long, then it would be a landmark development for erectile dysfunction cure.
"Erection is one of the side-effects that everyman who got nibbled by this spider has to endure," said Romulo Leite, a member of the Medical College Georgia research team. "We're hopeful that this revelation will eventually help in the formulation of a true preparation for the cure of erectile dysfunction.”, added Romulo.
Brazilian scientists at Medical College Georgia aver that they achieved success in the extrication of the chemical from the spider’s venom which causes erections in men.
The chemical, named Tx2-6, is a compound prepared of a quite short sequence of amino acids. The chemical prompts the fabrication of nitric oxide, which in turn stimulates the body to instigate an erection.
It acts in a quite distinct manner from Viagra and influence an earlier step of the erection process. It is been found that nearly one in three men having erectile dysfunction don’t react well to love pill Viagra. The research team is anticipating that a synthetic version of the poison when combined with Viagra might lead to better erections.
