The study found that the total prostate specific antigen (PSA) in the lycopene group had decreased. It also showed that prostate enlargement appeared to be slower in the lycopene group.Boylan, MatthewJournal of the Australian Traditional-Medicine Society...
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-malignant enlargement of the prostate gland [1]. This proliferative disorder affects the epithelial cells and smooth muscle within the transitional zone of the prostate gland [2]. BPH is a common disease in elderly men, with histological evidence of BP...
A study which compared the macronutrient supply values with prostate cancer in 28 countries was able to draw a negative correlation of r2=0.62 between incidence of prostate cancer and consumption of tomato products, with lycopene being credited with this affect (Grant 1999). Similarly, three weeks...
We hypothesize that lycopene might likewise inhibit the growth of prostatic epithelial cells in vivo. This might have an effect on prostate development and/or on enlargement of prostate tissue as found in benign prostate hyperplasia, a potential precursor of prostate cancer.Journal of Nutrition...
The administration of SeR, Se and Ly significantly blunted prostate overweight and growth; moreover, the SeR-Se-Ly association was most effective in reducing prostate enlargement and growth by 43.3% in treated animals. Conclusions The results indicate that IAPs may represent interesting targets for ...
benign prostatic enlargementLUTSSerenoa repenstadalafilprostateIn this randomized, open label, not-inferior clinical study, we aimed to compare the efficacy and tolerability of Serenoa Repens (SeR) + Lycopene (Ly) + Selenium (Se) therapy versus Tadalafil 5 mg in patients affected by lower urinary ...
Introduction and Objective Prostate of rats is hormonally sensitive and testosterone administration in pubertal rats appears a suitable model for investigation of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), implying a dramatic enlargement of prostate gland which, on histological examination, closely resembles the ...
Whereas progression of prostate enlargement occurred in the placebo group as assessed by trans-rectal ultrasonography (P < 0.05) and digital rectal examination (P < 0.01), the prostate did not enlarge in the lycopene group. Symptoms of the disease, as assessed via the International Prostate ...
