UNASSIGNED: Recent studies have shown that @entity2613 is an early symptom of @entity731 . @entity5363 , a glycoprotein secreted by the liver, kidneys and choroid plexus, has been linked to systemic @entity82 and @entity730 in @entity1 and @entity35 studies. Deficiency of this compound may play a role in @entity731 and @entity65 progression. The aim of the study was to examine whether serum @entity5363 level is related to erectile function or severity of @entity2613 . Sixty @entity2613 @entity1 without @entity65 were assigned to one of the three groups (mild, moderate or severe @entity2613 ) depending on @entity2613 severity. Twenty healthy volunteers were included as the control group. The International Index of Erectile Function-5 questionnaire was used to measure erection quality in all four groups. Mean age, body mass index, total @entity251 , low- and high-density lipoprotein @entity165 , and @entity412 levels did not significantly differ between the three @entity323 and control groups (P  >  0.05). The group with severe @entity2613 had a significantly lower mean @entity5363 level than the mild @entity2613 and control groups. For both mild and moderate @entity2613 groups, the mean serum @entity5363 level was significantly lower in comparison with the control group (P  <  0.001). Serum @entity5363 level may be used as a supplemental biochemical parameter in preliminary evaluation of @entity2613 .
