The objective was to examine the effects of resveratrol on erectile function. Erectile dysfunction is a common complication in diabetic men, affecting 35-75% of patients.
Key Findings
Results showed that diabetic rats that ingested resveratrol experienced restored erectile function compared with the diabetic rats who did not receive resveratrol.
