Attenuation of testosterone-induced benign prostatic hyperplasia with Andrographis paniculata (burm.f.) leaf extract in Wistar rats.
Andrographis paniculata (Burm.f.) Nees has been used traditionally in treating many diseases. This study investigated its potential to attenuate benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in male rats. Rats were castrated, divided into five groups and orally treated for 14 days with: normal saline,10 mg/kg testosterone propionate sc, finasteride (0.5 mg/kg), 500 mg, and 1500 mg/kg of Andrographis paniculata. Relative prostate weights, the correlation between prostatic index and volume and the prostates' histopathology as well as Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) were evaluated. Following treatment with Andrographis paniculata, the prostate weights were significantly reduced (p < 0.05) and the lost correlation observed in the untreated group was restored. Histopathological assessment showed reduced epithelial hyperplasia following treatment with a resultant thin layer of epithelial cells, similar to the healthy normal control group. The level of PSA was also reduced. Andrographis paniculata, thus, has the potential to inhibit the proliferation observed in testosterone-induced BPH.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Natural Product Research is to publish important contributions in the field of natural product chemistry. The journal covers all aspects of research in the chemistry and biochemistry of naturally occurring compounds.
The communications include coverage of work on natural substances of land and sea and of plants, microbes and animals. Discussions of structure elucidation, synthesis and experimental biosynthesis of natural products as well as developments of methods in these areas are welcomed in the journal. Finally, research papers in fields on the chemistry-biology boundary, eg. fermentation chemistry, plant tissue culture investigations etc., are accepted into the journal.
Natural Product Research issues will be subtitled either ""Part A - Synthesis and Structure"" or ""Part B - Bioactive Natural Products"". for details on this , see the forthcoming articles section.
All manuscript submissions are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
