Figure Lengend Snippet: The expression of proteins related to autophagy in mouse corpus cavernosum measured by western blot. Mice underwent sham surgery (Sham) or were surgically castrated (Cast). Two groups of castrated mice were treated with low-dose (CLS) or high-dose (CHS) SG1002. Proteins include light chain 3B (LC3-II), P-p62, p62, and autophagy-related protein (ATG7). Protein expression was normalized to GAPDH or representative controls. Values represent means ± SEM for n = 12 animals per group. * p < 0.05 compared to Sham.
