Overview

True-experimental study reveals aerobic exercise boosts α-SMA in diabetic rats, suggesting non-pharmacological therapy for erectile dysfunction.

Key Points

  • Moderate-intensity aerobic exercise significantly increased α-SMA expression in diabetic rats.
  • No significant difference in eNOS expression was noted across the different groups tested.
  • Findings suggest aerobic exercise may serve as a viable non-pharmacological approach for diabetic erectile dysfunction.
  • This study utilized a true-experimental design on 24 male Wistar rats over a 10-week period.
