BACKGROUND. Androgenic steroids regulate the development and size of the mammalian prostate gland. The mechanism(s) for this growth control might involve a direct effect on prostate cell proliferation and survival as well as more complex effects on the tissue environment supporting nourishment and o

## Background: Insulin-like growth factor binding protein (igfbp)-5 has been proposed as a signal for apoptosis in the ovary. to determine the relationship between igfbp-5 and apoptosis during regression of the androgen-deprived prostate, rats were castrated or treated with the 5alpha-reductase inh
BACKGROUND. Continuous administration of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists in prostate cancer patients results in involution of the tumors due to suppression of androgen production. In addition to the effect of GnRH at the hypothalamic-pituitary level, experiments in vitro on breast, ov
BACKGROUND. Fas antigen/CD 95 is a 45-kDa transmembrane protein that can initiate intracellular signaling pathways, leading to apoptosis when it is clustered on the cell surface. A recent report claiming that the ventral prostate glands of lpr -/-mutant mice (lacking functional fas antigen) do not r
