Human urine is produced when blood is filtered by the kidneys. This filtration retains proteins and nutrients, removes undesired metabolites, and regulates pH and water levels. Excreted urine is less than 1% of pre-filtered volume1. After filtration, urine is stored in the bladder for minutes to...

We also examined a novel miRNA-based biomarker source called expressed prostatic secretions in urine (EPS urine) for miR-888 expression and found that its levels were preferentially elevated in prostate cancer patients with high-grade disease. These expression studies indicated a correlation for miR-...
As a part of the digital rectal examination (DRE), a medical prostate massage is usually provided to men by urologists to detect nodules of prostate cancer as well as to get expressed prostatic secretions (EPS) for inspection under microscope. For a short phase during the 1990s, some doctors ...
As you learned, the fluid of semen is alkaline in nature. This alkalinity helps neutralize the acidity in the woman's vaginal tract (which would kill the sperm cells). The alkalinization of the semen is accomplished primarily from secretions in your seminal vesicles. ...
nov.) were detected by qPCR in prostate tissue (2.8–8.6%), and all four novel species were detected in prostate secretions (2.8–17%). This is consistent with evidence for a prostate-urine reflux loop where there is an exchange of bacteria between urine and the prostate [3], [4], [...

To investigate which microorganisms may be present in expressed prostate secretions (EPS) metagenomic sequencing (MGS) was applied to prostate secretion samples from five men with prostatitis and five matched control men as well as to combined expressed prostate secretion and urine from six patients wi...
Using synthetic peptides, we evaluate them by targeted proteomics in a 74-patient cohort of expressed prostatic secretions in urine. We quantify a panel of 34 candidates in an independent 207-patient cohort. We apply machine-learning approaches to develop clinical predictive models for prostate ...
A viscous whitish secretion of the male reproductive organs, containing spermatozoa and consisting of secretions of the testes, seminal vesicles, prostate, and bulbourethral glands. Also calledseminal fluid. [Middle English, from Latinsēmen,seed, semen; seesē-inIndo-European roots.] ...
