University of Louisville researchers found that, in a study of mice, one week of chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH), the lack of oxygen suffered during apnea, resulted in a 55 percent decline in their daily spontaneous erections. After five weeks, the length of time between mice attempts at mating increased on average by 60-fold.
When the mice went back on standard oxygen levels for six weeks, they recovered 74 percent of their original erectile function. The condition can also be treated with tadalafil, which is generic Cialis and increases the availability of nitric oxide, improved erectile and sexual functioning.
