Fig. 1From: Islet transplantation improved penile tissue fibrosis in a rat model of type 1 diabetesEvaluation of islet activity and body weights and blood glucose levels over 16 weeks. a Evaluation of activity in the isolated islets (FDA-PI staining, × 100). Bar = 25 μm. b Immunohistochemical staining for insulin as brown areas, which stains transplanted islets under the kidney capsule (magnification × 200). Bar = 25 μm. c Body weight changes over 16 weeks and the arrow indicates 12 weeks as the start of treatment. d Nonfasting blood glucose levels for each group over 16 weeks and the arrow indicates 12 weeks as the start of treatment. Model group: diabetes-related erectile dysfunction rat models established at 12 weeks. Control = normal control, ED = diabetes-related erectile dysfunction, INS = insulin treatment, IT = islet transplantationBack to article page
