Dietary fatty acids in normolipidic diets affect results in differential prostate growth and epithelial volume. After 32 weeks on the specified diets, C57/BL6 mouse VP were dissected out, weighed and processed for routine histology (ac,eg). VP relative and absolute weight (d), volume density (Vvo%; h) and volume (i) of the epithelium (Ep), lumen (L), stroma (*) and smooth muscle cells (arrowheads in ac) were determined by stereology. Morphometry was used to determine the epithelial height (j, frequencies; k, mean values; i, frequencies according to epithelial height subclasses); the luminal perimeter (n, frequencies; o, mean values; p, frequencies according to luminal perimeter subclasses); acinar area (q) and perimeter (r). n = 6; statistically different groups are indicated by letters (p < 0.05). ANOVA and Tukey’s test.
