چکیده
The effects of testosterone (T) and 176-estradiol (E2) on the prostate of castrated rats were investigated by histopathological and immunocytochemicar procedures. A significant increase in prostatic weight occurred after 6 weeks treatment with T alone and in combination with E2. The greatest increase in prostatic weight occurred after the administration of T plus E2. Histopathologically, glandulaT hyperplasia of the prostate was noted, and the number of bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU)positive cells. showed a significant increase ever that induced by testosterone alone.

growth of the prostate gland, also development of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is an androgen-dependent functions. Testosterone plays a major role in the prostate gland. Rat prostate gland is one of the most widely used models of animals in investigation. The rat prostate gland consisted of five lobes; the ventral, anterior, dorsal, lateral type 1 and latteral type 2. The goal of present ...

In order to confirm the relationship between sex hormone administration and glutathione-peroxidase (GSH-PO) in the rat ventral prostate, the levels of GSH-PO mRNA, GSH-PO activitM and Iipid peroxide (TBA) value in the ventral prostate were investigated. Male Cij:CD(SD)IGS rats were divided into six experimental groups. Group 1 consisted o'f intact controls. In group 2, rats were sacrificed two ...
متن کاملEffect of estrogen administration on activities of testosterone 5alpha-reductase, alkaline phosphatase and arginase in the ventral and the dorsolateral prostates of rats.
Daily treatment with 5 or 500 mug of estradiol benzoate of male adult rats for 7 days did not change the activity of testosterone 5alpha-reductase in the ventral prostate, while the activity decreased slightly in the dorsolateral prostate. The activity of alkaline phosphatase was increased by 60% over the respective control in the ventral prostate from rats treated with the larger dose of estro...
متن کاملSelective increase in type II estrogen-binding sites in the dysplastic dorsolateral prostates of noble rats.
We demonstrated previously that simultaneous treatment of intact Noble (NBL) rats with testosterone and estradiol-17 beta (E2) for 16 weeks consistently induced a putative precancerous lesion, termed dysplasia, in the dorsolateral prostate (DLP) of all animals. Since treatment of rats with androgen alone did not elicit the same response, we concluded that estrogen played a critical role in the ...
متن کاملEffect of Exogenous Testosterone, Finasteride, and Castration on serum level of Thyroxin
Background: The secretion of thyroxin (T4) as the main hormone of thyroid gland is regulated by androgens. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of testosterone and finasteride administration and castration on serum levels of T4 and to show the effect of this regulation on total body weight, weight of testis, and the weight of prostate. Methods: Male adult rats (n = 32) were divided in...
