Free estrogens and progestogens in benign prostatic hypertrophy.

چکیده
Studies on the presence of free estrogens and progestogens in human prostates clearly differentiate the benign hypertrophied prostates from normals. Both contained 17 alpha-hydroxypregnenolone 5 beta-pregnane-3, 20-dione, 5 alpha-pregnane-3, 20-dione and 16 alpha-hydroxyestrone. However, presence of 11 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone 20 beta-hydroxypregnenolone, pregnenolone, 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone, as well as estrone and estriol exclusively in BPH samples pointed to their possible involvement in the development of benign prostatic hypertrophy.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the most common condition in aging men, associated with lower urinary tract symptoms. It is caused due to the augmented levels of the androgen dihydrotestosterone. Dutasteride, a 5α-Reductase inhibitor has been recommended for the treatment of BPH upon oral administration. However, long term oral administration of dutasteride may cause sexual problem in man...

متن کاملEstradiol causes the rapid accumulation of cAMP in human prostate.
Androgens are widely acknowledged to be central to the pathogenesis of benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). However, BPH increases in prevalence as men age, at precisely the stage of life when plasma androgens are decreasing. The decrease in total plasma androgens is amplified by an age-related increase in plasma sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) that results in a relatively greater decrease i...

متن کاملInhibition by various steroids on dihydrotestosterone binding to androphilic protein in human benign prostatic hypertrophy.
The effect of various steroidal compounds on the binding of the androphilic protein to dihydrotestosterone in the cytosol of tissues of human benign prostatic hypertrophy was examined. Androgens, as well as estrogens and gestagens showed an inhibitory effect on the binding. Non-steroidal anti-androgens were revealed to be weak inhibitors on the binding. Two androphilic proteins were observed in...
