Oral exposure to methylmercury modifies the prostatic microenvironment in adult rats
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2012-10-01)
Methylmercury (MeHg) is an environmental pollutant that is highly toxic to the central nervous system. As its effects on male reproductive system are poorly understood, this study was carried out to analyse the effects of ...
Malignant lesions in the ventral prostate of alloxan-induced diabetic rats
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2008-08-01)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes caused by chronic diabetes in the rat ventral prostate and to establish a correlation between diabetes and the development of prostatic lesions. Male rats received alloxan ...

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 ...

Elastic system of the rat ventral prostate and its modifications following orchiectomy
(Wiley-Blackwell, 1997-06-15)
BACKGROUND. The extracellular matrix (ECM) has important roles in prostatic development, and marked stromal changes take place in the rat ventral prostate (VP) after androgen deprivation. However, little knowledge exists ...
Early Changes Induced by Short-Term Low-Dose Cadmium Exposure in Rat Ventral and Dorsolateral Prostates
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011-11-01)
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men. The etiology of PCa in humans is multifactorial and includes age, ethnicity, environmental factors, and other unknown causes. Epidemiological and experimental ...
Harmful effects of carbamazepine on the postnatal development of the rat ventral prostate
(Biomed Central Ltd, 2012-03-25)
Background: Carbamazepine (CBZ) is a first-line antiepileptic drug (AED), although it is also used for the treatments of psychiatric disorders and neuropathic pain. the CBZ utilization has been associated with male ...
Chronic caffeine intake increases androgenic stimuli, epithelial cell proliferation and hyperplasia in rat ventral prostate
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2012-12-01)
Coffee intake has been associated with a low risk of developing cancer, including prostate cancer, which is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men. However, few studies have evaluated the chronic effects of ...
