Purpose: To investigate the therapeutic potential of eliminating insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 5 (IGFBP5) expression in improving erectile function in mice with cavernous nerve injury (CNI)-induced erectile dysfunction (ED).
Materials And Methods: Eight-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were divided into four groups: a sham-operated group and three CNI-induced ED groups. The CNI-induced ED groups were treated with intracavernous injections 3 days before the CNI procedure.

Background: Erectile dysfunction is a condition with a rapidly increasing prevalence globally with a strong correlation to the increase in obesity and cardiovascular disease rates.
Aim: The aim of the current study is to investigate the potential role of tubacin, a histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) inhibitor, in restoring erectile function in a hypercholesterolemia-induced endothelial dysfunction model.
Methods: Thirty-nine male C57Bl/6 J mice were divided into 3 groups.

Background: Increasing evidence suggests that a diet rich in antioxidants may prevent erectile dysfunction (ED), but the impact of comprehensive dietary antioxidants on ED has been little studied.
Aim: To investigate the association between the composite dietary antioxidant index (CDAI) and ED risk in adult men.
Methods: The study performed a cross-sectional analysis using data from the 2001-2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey to investigate the association between the composite dietary antioxidant index (CDAI) and ED.

Background: Currently, the treatment and prevention of erectile dysfunction (ED) remain highly challenging.
Aim: This study conducted a systematic druggable genome-wide Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to identify potential therapeutic targets for ED.
Methods: A proteome-wide MR approach was employed to investigate the causal effects of plasma proteins on ED.

Background: Diabetic erectile dysfunction (DMED) has a high incidence and is poorly treated.
Aim: This study investigates fibrosis's genetic profiling and explores potential mechanisms for DMED.
Methods: The DMED model was constructed in rats using streptozotocin.
