NR+PBS = rats fed a normal diet that received phosphate buffered saline (PBS), HR+PBS = rats fed a high-fat diet that received PBS, HR+ADSC = rats fed a high-fat diet that received adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC) injection into penis, nNOS = neuronal nitric oxide synthase, RECA-1 = rat endothelial cell antigen-1, α-SMA =α-smooth muscle cell actin, SM = smooth muscle.
One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) for continuous variables; data is shown as mean ± standard error of the mean.
One each rat in the HR+PBS and HR+ADSC groups suddenly died after ketamine injection and were excluded.
Versus other groups p < 0.05,
