Modulation of smooth muscle cell function: Morphological evidence for a contractile to synthetic transition in the rat ventral prostate after castration
(Elsevier B.V., 2005-09-01)
In this study, we evaluated the involvement of rat ventral prostate smooth muscle cells (SMC) in secretory activity and whether this function is modulated after castration. Cell morphology was examined at both light and ...
Collagen fiber reorganization in the rat ventral prostate following androgen deprivation: A possible role for smooth muscle cells
(2000-11-20)
BACKGROUND. Stroma plays an essential role in glandular function in different systems. In the prostate, it is responsible for the development and maintenance of the differentiated state of the epithelium. The marked reduction ...

Doxazosin Treatment Alters Stromal Cell Behavior and Increases Elastic System Fibers Deposition in Rat Prostate
(Wiley-lissHobokenEUA, 2010)
Abnormal proliferative response of the carotid artery of spontaneously hypertensive rats after angioplasty may be related to the depolarized state of its smooth muscle cells
(Associação Brasileira de Divulgação Científica, 2000-08-01)
Hypertension is one of the major precursors of atherosclerotic vascular disease, and vascular smooth muscle abnormal cell replication is a key feature of plaque formation. The present study was conducted to examine the ...
Doxazosin Treatment Alters Stromal Cell Behavior and Increases Elastic System Fibers Deposition in Rat Prostate
(Wiley-liss, 2010-10-01)
Doxazosin (DOX), an alpha-adrenoceptor antagonist, induces the relaxation of smooth muscle cell tonus and reduces the clinical symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). However, the effects of DOX in the prostate ...
Influence of glucose metabolism on vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation
(Hans Huber, 2013)
Diff erentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) is
an essential process of vascular development. VSMC have
biosynthetic, proliferative, and contractile roles in the vessel
wall. Alterations in the diff erentiated ...
The rete testis in man: Ultrastructural aspects
(Springer-Verlag, 1976)
The ultrastructure of the normal human rete testis was analyzed. The rete testis cavities are irregularly shaped and contain virtually no spermatozoa. Smooth muscle cells often surround the cavities. In the epithelial ...
