Effect of 6SL on enlarged prostate in a testosterone propionate (TP)-induced benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) rat model. (A) Representative images showing changes of prostatic tissues from each experimental group are detected. (B) Prostate weight (PW) and (C) prostate weight to body weight (PW/BW) ratio was measured and analyzed. Prostate weight to body weight (PW/BW) ratio = (Mean value of prostate weight from the experimental group / Mean value of body weight from the experimental group) × 1000. All data are mean ± SD (n = 8 per group). (D) The concentration of DHT was analyzed using ELISA kit. All data are mean ± SD (n = 4). Values with different letters indicate significant differences, p < 0.05. Con; control animals, BPH; rats with BPH induction, Fina; rats with BPH orally administrated 5 mg/kg finasteride, 6SL 0.5 and 1.0; rats with BPH intraperitoneally administrated 0.5 or 1.0 mg/kg 6SL.
