Abstract:Prostate development, physiology and cancer depend on a fine balance between the levels of androgens and estrogens acting via the androgen receptor (AR) and the estrogen receptors (ER e ER), respectively. It is known that the kinetics of apoptosis are different in the rat ventral prostate (VP) of castrated rats (Cas group) and in rats subjected to 17-estradiol high dose (group E2) or their combination (group Cas+E2), with an evident additive effect in the latter situation . In this work, we investigated ele… Show more
