## BACKGROUND. To study the possible relationship between adrenergic activities and the pathogenesis of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), we tested the effect of doxazosin, an ␣1-adrenoceptor antagonist, on prostatic growth in vivo using a mouse model for BPH. METHODS. The mouse prostate reconst

Transforming growth factor β 1 (TGF-β 1 ) has been implicated as inhibitor of cell proliferation and a potent inducer of apoptosis in vitro and in vivo after the administration of high doses. To assess the role of endogenous TGF-β 1 , we quantitated the cytokine and its receptors in rat liver during
Transforming growth factor b1 (TGF-b1) belongs to a family of multifunctional modulatory proteins involved in cell growth, differentiation, development, and wound healing. Although the biological activities of TGF-b1 have been extensively studied, its regulation remains obscure. Here we report the e
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a physiological process that has been recognized to occur during the progression of an increasingly large number of human diseases, including liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. The activation of transforming growth factor b (TGF-b) sig
Transforming growth factor-$, was localized by means of immunohistochemical reaction in liver biopsy specimens taken from patients having different chronic liver diseases with extending fibrosis. Two polyclonal antibodies that were produced in rabbits were directed against the amino terminal of tran
