Inhibition of testosterone-induced prostate growth in the rat by melatonin-free pineal extract
Endocrinologie.
1979 Oct-Dec.
Abstract
Administration of the melatonin-free pineal extract to rats concomitantly receiving testosterone propionate caused partial inhibition of the ventral prostate growth induced by testosterone. Administration of the pineal extract to rats likewise caused a statistically significant decrease in the ventral prostate weight under basal conditions. The mechanism of action is discussed.
