QLX exerts anti‐inflammatory activity in hormonal imbalance–induced CNP and BPH. IL‐1β A, and TNF‐β B, were quantified by ELISA in prostate tissue. NF‐κB C, and NLRP3 D, expressions were assayed by IHC. The expression of other proteins in prostate tissue was assayed in Western blots. The rats were treated as described in Figure 2. Data are means ± SD, n = 3. ^# P < .05, ^## P < .01 (sham vs. oestradiol‐ or testosterone‐treated rats); *P < .05, **P <.01 (QLX‐treated vs. oestradiol‐ or testosterone‐treated); ^$ P < .05 (tamsulosin‐treated vs. oestradiol‐ or testosterone‐treated rats); ^& P < .05 (tamsulosin‐treated vs. QLX‐treated rats)
