Summary of the changes in the corpus cavernosum in each group. A: Changes in collagen content following CN crush injury and treatment. Note the obliteration of the sinusoidal spaces with reticular subtype III collagen (arrowheads) in the vehicle-treated group. Original magnification ×100. B: smooth muscle content in the corpus cavernosum in each group. Note the thinning of the subendothelial smooth muscle layer after CNI in vehicle treated rats (arrows), and how this was prevented by treatment with ADSC or lysate. Original magnification ×40. C: Graph summarizing the changes in the corpus cavernosum as relative expression as compared to sham-operated animals. *: P<0.05 compared to vehicle-treated group.
