Abstract
This study examined the effects of kolaviron and quercetin, individually and combined, on biochemical and histopathological changes in testosterone-induced benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in male Wistar rats. Forty-two rats were divided into six groups, with BPH induced in all but the control group. Treatments included kolaviron, quercetin, their combination, and finasteride. BPH increased PSA, 5-α reductase, DHT, kidney and liver function markers, and altered lipid profiles. Treatments reduced these elevations and improved testosterone and HDL-c levels. Findings suggest that kolaviron and quercetin effectively ameliorate BPH, indicating their potential as affordable, non-invasive options for BPH management.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Asian Natural Products Research (JANPR) publishes chemical and pharmaceutical studies in the English language in the field of natural product research on Asian ethnic medicine. The journal publishes work from scientists in Asian countries, e.g. China, Japan, Korea and India, including contributions from other countries concerning natural products of Asia. The journal is chemistry-orientated. Major fields covered are: isolation and structural elucidation of natural constituents (including those for non-medical uses), synthesis and transformation (including biosynthesis and biotransformation) of natural products, pharmacognosy, and allied topics. Biological evaluation of crude extracts are acceptable only as supporting data for pure isolates with well-characterized structures.
All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two expert referees.
