Fig 5. Histological changes in the ventral prostate of the SHR animals.

Fig 5

The ventral prostate in the WKY group (left upper panel), the SHR group (right upper panel), and the SHR+Sil100 group (left lower panel) are shown. Glandular epithelial area (%) (HE stained area/ventral prostate glandular area×100) are depicted in the right lower panel. WKY: 18-week-old Wistar-Kyoto rat group; SHR: 18-week-old SHR group; SHR+Sil100; 18-week-old SHRs treated with silodosin at a daily dose of 100 μg/kg, p.o.. Original magnification: ×100. The scale bar is 200 μm. †: Significantly different with the WKY group; #: Significantly different with the SHR group (P < 0.05 is a level of significance).
