Hello- Yes. High Triglycerides predicts Arteriogenic Erectile Dysfunction. Cholesterol, found in the cell membranes of all tissue, is a lipid comprised of steroids and alcohol that travels through the blood plasma. Men and women with high cholesterol levels and proportions of LDL ("bad cholesterol") and HDL ("good cholesterol") are at risk for cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular disease is especially dangerous because of its buildup of artery deposits known as plaque, which can stop the flow of blood, leading to heart attacks and strokes. The build up of plaque in the peripheral arteries can too lead to impotence. The peripheral arteries inside the penis can become inelastic, preventing blood from flowing normally to an erection.
