The latest UW research study released concludes that Sildenafil (aka Viagra) increases release of a reproductive hormone in rats, in addition to its more famous uses.

The finding is “the first indication of a chemical mechanism through which erectile dysfunction drugs may have physical effects besides increasing blood flow to sexual organs,” according to UW Professor Meyer Jackson.

Who cares, you ask?  Meyers believes this provides strong rationale for studies of additional effects and new potential uses for the drug. 

In fact, Sildenafil was recently shown to “improve hamsters’ abilities to adjust the timing of their internal clocks to overcome simulated jet lag.”

At last, a world free of grumpy hamsters and impotent rats.
