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 ...
Architecture of the caudal vena cava wall of the dog at the level of the liver caudate lobe
(2000-12-10)
The vascular segment of the caudal vena cava of the dog at the level of the caudate lobe was shown to be intimately related to hepatic tissue through the hepatic capsule and parenchyma. The tunica adventitia of the caudal ...
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 ...
Doxazosin reduces cell proliferation and increases collagen fibers in rat prostatic lobes
(2008-04-01)
We investigated the effects of doxazosin (Dox), an alpha-adrenoceptor antagonist used clinically for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), on the rat prostatic complex by assessing structural parameters, ...
Características estruturais da parede das artérias renal e femoral de coelho (Oryctolagus cuniculus)
(2004-04-01)
In the renal and femoral arteries of rabbit was verified that both vessels had walls structured by myostromal components, despite of their different distributive of blood, being the renal artery a visceral blood vessel and ...
Morphologic and biomechanical changes of thoracic and abdominal aorta in a rat model of cigarette smoke exposure
(2013-08-01)
Background: Smoking is the most relevant environmental factor that affects the development of aortic aneurysm. Smokers have elevated levels of elastase activity in the arterial wall, which leads to weakening of the aorta. ...
Differential distribution of some extracellular matrix fibers in an experimentally denervated rat megaileum
(Pergamon-Elsevier B.V. Ltd, 2008-06-01)
Absence of enteric neurons is associated with thickening of the intestinal muscularis externa in Chagas' disease. The thickening is due to hyperplasia and hypertrophy of the smooth muscle cells and increased extracellular ...
Características ultraestruturais do segmento abdominal da aorta de rato albino
(2007-10-01)
The objective of the present research was to investigate the ultrastructural peculiarities of the aortic wall of the rat. Seven young adult rats were used, from which fragments of the infrarenal abdominal aorta were ...
Progesterone restores the female prostate activity in ovariectomized gerbil and may act as competitor of testosterone in intraprostatic environment
(2013-05-30)
Aims Little is known about the effect of progesterone on gerbil female prostate. It is known that normal oscillation in the progesterone and estradiol levels during the estrous cycle phases influence the morphophysiology ...
