Implication

In vivo study reveals aqueous rhizome extract reverses testosterone-induced prostatic hyperplasia in male rats, suggesting potential as a plant-based therapy.

Key Points

Ampelocissus africana extract reduced the prostate index by up to 75.91% at 300 mg/kg, significantly mitigating testosterone-induced prostatic enlargement.
Assessment of testosterone propionate-induced benign prostatic hyperplasia in male rats tracked organ indices, antioxidant enzymes, and inflammatory markers.
Highlights therapeutic potential against prostatic hyperplasia through antioxidant pathways, though these rat model findings require further preclinical work.
