BACKGROUND The rat prostate gland is composed of several distinct lobes: the ventral,
lateral, dorsal, and anterior (also called the coagulating gland). Each prostatic lobe is …

BACKGROUND Following androgen withdrawal, regression of the prostate is characterized
by apoptotic cell death. The molecular events governing this process have not been fully …

Abstract Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) is a multifunctional enzyme
known to play a critical role in neuronal apoptosis. We undertook the current studies to …

Expression of the int2/Fgf‐3 gene occurs during normal embryonic development and is
associated with mammary cancer in mice. Overexpression of this gene under the control of …

It is generally established that telomerase activity is present in most cancer cells, germ line
cells, and established cell lines but typically is not present in normal somatic cells. Among …

The proliferation of cells and cell death are involved in the maintenance of appropriate
tissue homeostasis. In the present study, two different mechanisms of cell death were …

We have recently demonstrated the expression of leptin and leptin receptor (Ob-R) isoforms
a, b, c, e and f in the rat seminal vesicles and prostate. The aim of the present study was to …

Gerbillus tarabuli is a nocturnal Saharan rodent which has an annual reproductive cycle
characterized by the reproductive activity in spring and a long phase of sexual quiescence in …

Background We demonstrated that p53‐deficiency is sufficient for the establishment of
clonal cell lines from the uterus and prostate. In the present study, we improved cloning …

We previously have shown that experimental diabetes in rats causes prostatic involution,
reduces serum testosterone levels, and causes an upregulation in prostatic endothelin (ET) …
