Effect of YSTE on oxidative stress in the prostate of BPH rats. MDA concentration (a) and GR activity (b) were measured in prostate homogenates. Values are presented as mean ± SD (n = 5). ## P < 0.01, compared with the NC group; ∗ P < 0.05 and ∗∗ P < 0.01, compared with the BPH group. NC, negative control; BPH, TP-induced BPH; Fin, administration of finasteride and s.c. injection of TP; YSTE-200, administration of 200 mg/kg/day of YSTE and s.c. injection of TP; YSTE-500, administration of 500 mg/kg/day of YSTE and s.c. injection of TP.
