(a) Immunohistochemical staining of penile cavernous tissues for collagen I, collagen III and TGF-β, from control and hyperlipidemia group rabbits (magnification ×100, scale bars = 100 μm; ×200, scale bars = 50 μm). (b) Western blot analysis showed ECM in the CCSM cells. Lanes 1–3: control; lanes 4–6: hyperlipidemia. Collagen I/III and TGF-β were over expressed in hyperlipidemia compared with control (n = 6 per group). ^#P < 0.01, hyperlipidemia group versus control group. TGF-β: transforming growth factor-beta; CCSM: corpus cavernosum smooth muscle; ECM: extracellular matrix.
