- Role of oxytocin in the contractility of the male reproductive tract: implications for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia
-
Aims:
To assess the role of oxytocin in smooth muscle contractility in the prostate, contrasting this to the testis and epididymis. To develop novel oxytocin conjugates with agonistic and antagonistic function, and to test their therapeutic potential for the treatment of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) using our established ex vivo models.
