BACKGROUND Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) leading to prostatic enlargement and lower urinary tract symptoms is highly prevalent among older men. Sympathetic nervous system activity, which is decreased by physical activity, is associated with increased prostatic smooth-muscle tone and prostatic symptoms.

متن کامل5'-nucleotidase activity in prostatic carcinoma and benign prostatic hyperplasia.
In light of previous reports of alterations in 5'-nucleotidase activity in neoplastic conditions, 5'-nucleotidase activity was examined histochemically in tissue sections and quantified biochemically in extracts of human hyperplastic prostates and prostatic carcinomas obtained surgically. The 5'-nucleotidase activities per mg protein in extracts of 29 prostatic carcinomas were lower (P less tha...

متن کاملBenign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Urinary obstruction as a result of benign prostatic disease has probably been recognized to some degree since the earl iest days of medicine. This association was probably f irst formalized by Riolan in the seventeenth century. In the mideighteenth century, Morgagni (248) provided one of the earl iest descriptions of BPH and enumerated many of the potential medical problems attendant to its dev...
