Abstract excerpt
AIMS: BPH is characterized by uncontrolled proliferation and increased contractility of prostatic smooth muscle cells. The activation of alpha1-adrenoceptors (alpha1-AR) seems involved in the latter event, but the lack of in vitro models expressing these receptors has hampered a more specific characterization of their role. In order to do so, we attempted to develop a new model of rabbit cultured prostatic...
