Abstract excerpt

The peptide hormone relaxin is expressed in the prostate gland and secreted into the seminal plasma; however, its function within the prostate has not been established. Relaxin-mutant mice (Rln(-/-)) were reported to have abnormal prostate morphology, but there was no prostate phenotype in relaxin receptor-mutant (Rxfp1(-/-)) mice. The present study aimed to verify the phenotypes in the anterior, dorsal and...
