May 2026 in “Global Translational Medicine” This study found that ethanol extract of Syzygium aromaticum (clove) leaves significantly improved lipid profiles and increased body weight in testosterone-induced benign prostatic hyperplasia rats, suggesting potential anti-hyperlipidemic effects and modulation of body weight through metabolic activity.

September 1991 in “Journal of Andrology” In this study, 4‐MAPC treatment reduced ventral prostate weight in rats primarily through decreased synthetic activity, with testosterone propionate increasing prostate weight and activity at pharmacologic doses.

June 1988 in “Journal of Steroid Biochemistry” This study found that combining Flutamide and an LHRH agonist in adult male rats effectively inhibited prostatic growth and reduced androgen-sensitive prostatic activity markers to levels similar to castrated rats.
August 2023 in “Malaysian Journal of Medicine and Health Sciences/Malaysian journal of medicine and health sciences” This study found that aqueous extract of Pueraria mirifica, when administered to a rat model, significantly reduced prostate weight, prostatic index, and serum dihydrotestosterone levels, while also improving prostate histomorphology, suggesting its potential as an anti-BPH treatment.
March 2013 in “The Journal of Urology” This study found that patients with androgenetic alopecia frequently had higher PSA levels and more significant urinary symptoms, likely due to older age, though prostate weight did not differ.
