Introduction: Angiogenesis, the growth and proliferation of blood vessels from existing vascular structures, is mediated by many cytokine growth factors and receptors, among the most important are the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family.

Aim: Decreases in VEGF receptor signaling have been linked to abnormalities in vasoreactivity in corporal tissue, but it is unknown if alterations in the VEGF ligands and/or receptors contribute to this process.

Main Outcome Measures: We sought to determine changes in vasoreactivity and the expression of the family of VEGF ligands and receptors in corporal tissue with cholesterol feeding in C57BL6 mice.
