Background
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the most common urological disease in elderly men, but the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms are complex and not fully understood. Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5‐Is) used to treat BPH could upregulate the cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)‐dependent protein kinase G (PKG) signaling, which was shown to blunt inflammation in the...
BACKGROUNDThe significant association of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and hypertension indicates a common pathophysiological factor for both diseases. Hyperactivity of the renin‐angiotensin system (RAS) has been reported in BPH. Angiotensin II type I (AT1) receptor is the principal mediator of the RAS, and the antagonist, AT1 receptor blocker (ARB), can induce apoptosis in prostate epithelium...
