Občasná nebo dlouhodobě trvající erektilní dysfunkce postihuje většinu mužské populace. Přestože v dnešní době jsou k dispozici účinné léky v podobě inhibitorů 5-fosfodiestrázy, zůstávají doplňky stravy stále důležitou součástí terapeutického spektra. Práce uvádí sedm u nás nejčastěji používaných přírodních látek, které působí prokazatelně pozitivně na erekční pohotovost. Tyto látky používané v různé kombinaci představují vlastně první terapeutický krok nezávislý na odborné preskripci. Použití doplňků stravy nepředstavuje tak nějaký obsoletní léčebný postup, nýbrž má plné uplatnění v moderním terapeutickém arzenálu. Použití doplňků stravy by nemělo být na úkor pátrání po přidružených chorobách, z nichž nejčastější je ischemická nemoc srdeční.

Occasional or long-lasting erectile dysfunction affects the majority of the male population. Although effective drugs represented by phosphodiesterase type-5 inhibitors are currently available, food supplements remain an important part of the therapeutic spectrum. The paper lists seven most commonly used natural substances in the Czech Republic that have been shown to positively affect erectile readiness. These substances used in various combinations actually represent the first therapeutic step independent of prescription by a specialist. Thus, using food supplements is not some kind of obsolete therapeutic approach, but it is fully applicable in the modern therapeutic arsenal. Food supplements should not be used at the expense of searching for comorbidities, the most frequent of which is coronary artery disease.

Strategies are sought to reduce intestinal colonisation of food-producing animals by Campylobacter jejuni, a leading bacterial cause of human foodborne illness worldwide. Presently, we tested the antimicrobial activity of hydrolysable-rich blackberry, cranberry and chestnut tannin extracts and condensed tannin-rich mimosa, quebracho and sorghum tannins (each at 100 mg/mL) against C. jejuni via disc diffusion assay in the presence of supplemental casamino acids. We found that when compared to non-tannin-treated controls, all tested tannins inhibited the growth of C. jejuni and that inhibition by the condensed tannin-rich mimosa and quebracho extracts was mitigated in nutrient-limited medium supplemented with casamino acids. When tested in broth culture, both chestnut and mimosa extracts inhibited growth of C. jejuni and this inhibition was much greater in nutrient-limited than in full-strength medium. Consistent with observations from the disc diffusion assay, the inhibitory activity of the condensed tannin-rich mimosa extracts but not the hydrolysable tannin-rich chestnut extracts was mitigated by casamino acid supplementation to the nutrient-limited medium, likely because the added amino acids saturated the binding potential of the condensed tannins. These results demonstrate the antimicrobial activity of various hydrolysable and condensed tannin-rich extracts against C. jejuni and reveal that condensed tannins may be less efficient than hydrolysable tannins in controlling C. jejuni in gut environments containing high concentrations of amino acids and soluble proteins.
