Experimental evaluation of
efficiency of a new prostatotropic medication tertapeptide lysil-glutamyl-aspartyl-proline
(Lys-Glu-Asp-Pro)in treatment of
benign prostatic hyperplasia was performed in Wistar rats. The efficiency of
the medication was compared with that one of injections of theSerenoa repensextract. The
investigation showed the statistically significant decrease in the square of
the epithelium of acini. The same effect of similar severity was obtained when
theSerenoa repensextract was applied. Tertapeptide
Lys-Glu-Asp-Pro, in difference fromSerenoa
repensextract, also resulted
in weight loss and volume decrease of the prostate gland.
