(a) VEGF concentration in vitro from P1 to P5 after ESWT or not, by ELISA. , with untreated MSCs; treated MSCs secreted higher levels of VEGF. , with untreated MSCs; treated MSCs secreted higher levels of VEGF. (b) cGMP concentration of each group in vivo, by ELISA. , with untreated MSCs; treated MSCs secreted higher levels of cGMP. compared with the DM control group. compared with the DM + ESWT and DM + MSCT groups. (c) Ratio of CM-Dil-positive MSCs in the corpus cavernosum. ; in the DM + ESWT + MSCT group, the quantity of MSCs is higher than in the DM + MSCT group.
