Comparative analysis of the male reproductive accessory glands of bats Noctilio albiventris (Noctilionidae) and Rhynchonycteris naso (Emballonuridae)
(2016-11-01)
In eutherian mammals, the male reproductive accessory glands (RAGs) comprise the prostate, bulbourethral glands, ampullary glands, and the seminal vesicles. Their composition, anatomy and function vary widely between ...
Structural and ultrastructural evidence for telocytes in prostate stroma
(2013-03-01)
The prostate comprises a glandular epithelium embedded within a fibromuscular stroma. The stroma is a complex arrangement of cells and extracellular matrix (ECM) components in addition to growth factors, regulatory molecules, ...

Combined oral contraceptives promote androgen receptor and oestrogen receptor alpha upregulation in the female prostate (Skene's paraurethral glands) of adult gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus)
(2018-04-06)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of cyproterone acetate (CPA) and ethinyloestradiol (EE) alone or in combination on the female prostate of adult gerbils. Adult females were exposed for 21 days to daily ...
Androgen receptor in the Mongolian gerbil ventral prostate: Evaluation during different phases of postnatal development and following androgen blockage
(Pergamon-Elsevier B.V. Ltd, 2008-12-01)
The normal growth, differentiation and maintenance of the morphofunctional integrity of the prostate gland are dependent on the interaction of constant levels of androgens with their receptors. The need to study the responses ...

Morphological analysis of the male reproductive accessory glands of the bat Artibeus lituratus (Phyllostomidae: Chiroptera)
(2018-02-01)
Bats are distributed worldwide from tropical to temperate regions. Despite their wide geographical radiation and advances in studies using evolutionary approaches, aspects related to the reproduction of these animals remain ...
Structure and ultrastructure of the ventral prostate of isogenic mice (C57B1/6J) submitted to chronic alcohol ingestion
(Churchill Livingstone, 2001-08-01)
Morphological and functional alterations caused by chronic alcohol ingestion in testes and accessory sex organs have been studied both in man and in laboratory animals. The aim of the present study was to examine the ...

Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 activity and localization during ventral prostate atrophy and regrowth
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2010-10-01)
Matrix metalloproteinses (MMPs) are enzymes involved in prostatic development, growth, disease-induced tissue remodelling and secretory fluid. Although the prostate function depends upon androgen regulation, the relationship ...
