• Hypoxia is one of the important pathophysiologic causes of ED, and the development and progression of hypoxia-induced ED can be attributed to multiple factors relating nerves, blood vessels, endocrine and various cytokines. The mechanisms of hypoxia-induced ED have not been fully clarified by now despite some advances achieved in the respects of corpus cavernosal microstructure, important signaling pathways, oxidative stress, hormone levels, autophagy and so on. This review focuses on the present status of and progress made in the studies of hypoxia-induced ED in order to provide some evidence and a direction for further researches.
