Total and nuclear androgen receptors (AR) were studied from epithelial cells in internal and external prostatic zones in 51- to 86-year-old individuals with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) (n = 68) and prostatic cancer (n = 9). We focussed on the role played by androgens on those proce...

We compared the levels of serum conjugated and unconjugated steroids between Arab and Caucas...
