Abstract:
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common complication of diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus can cause oxidative stress, which plays a key role in the pathogenesis of diabetes-associated ED by acting on blood vessel endothelia, peripheral nerves and smooth muscles and inducing cell apoptosis. Recent progress in the researches on the correlation of oxidative stress with diabetic ED is briefly reviewed in this article.
