HG caused a decrease in endothelial proliferation, function, and marker expression. It also caused an increase in endothelial collagen IV expression, apoptosis, and mitochondrial fragmentation. Together, these HG-induced changes in cavernous endothelial cells provide an explanation for hyperglycemia's detrimental effects on erectile function.
