Article Synopsis
- Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common condition that adversely affects quality of life, and its rising prevalence suggests potential environmental risk factors.
- The study investigates the impact of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs), particularly diethylstilbestrol (DES), on erectile function by using male mice as a model.
- Findings reveal that chronic exposure to DES leads to abnormal erectile tissue function and increased expression of estrogen receptors, indicating that both long-term and short-term exposure to estrogenic EDCs may play a significant role in causing ED.
