Circulating CD34+KDR+ Endothelial Progenitor Cells Correlate with Erectile Function and Endothelial Function in Overweight Men

Circulating levels of CD34+KDR+ EPC are reduced in overweight subjects with ED and correlate with the severity of ED. Other EPC phenotypes are not related to ED, suggesting that the CD34+KDR+ phenotype of EPCs may be preferred in future studies. Esposito K, Ciotola M, Maiorino MI, Giugliano F, Autorino R, De Sio M, Jannini E, Lenzi A, and Giugliano D. Circulating CD34+KDR+ endothelial progenitor cells correlate with erectile function and endothelial function in overweight men.
