Af. Darenkov et al., REGULATION OF PROSTATIC GROWTH, PATHOGENE SIS OF PROSTATIC ADENOMA AND CANCER, VESTNIK ROSSIISKOI AKADEMII MEDITSINSKIKH NAUK, (11), 1994, pp. 50-59
This review discusses the molecular mechanism of the regulation of pro
state growth, maintenance of the prostate integrity and possible distu
rbances in these processes leading to the development of prostatic can
cer and benign hyperplasia. The role of hormones, growth factors, onco
genes is described in more details. The participation of the angiotens
in converting enzyme and renin-angiotensine systems in the regulation
of polyamine synthesis in the prostate and the regulation of prostate
growth is assumed.
