New immunophenotype of circulating endothelial progenitor cells and endothelial microparticles in patients with erectile dysfunction and metabolic syndrome: effects of tadalafil administration.

Abstract excerpt

AIM: Circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and endothelial microparticles (EMPs) increase, respectively, in the attempt to repair the damaged endothelium and in response to endothelial dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction (ED) of arterial origin recognizes endothelial dysfunction as one of its main determinants and shares risk factors and physiopathological evolution with the metabolic syndrome (MetS)....
