Alterations in the Intraprostatic Hormonal Metabolism by the Pollen Extract
Cernilton ®
Sabine Tunn, M. Krieg
Introduction
A number of hypotheses have been implicated in the etiology of benign
prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The most important theories are: (1) an alteration
of the androgen metabolism in BPH if compared to the normal prostate (NPR)
leading to an accumulation of the biologically highly active androgen
5a-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) predominantly in the stroma; (2) a change in the
androgen-estrogen ratio in favor of estrogens; (3) and an alteration in the
intraprostatic interaction between stroma and epithelium. Such variable
hypotheses do not allow a unified therapeutic concept for BPH. For the medical
treatment of BPH a variety of substances are utilized such as GnRH analogues,
which reduce peripheral androgen and estrogen concentration, 5a-reductase
inhibitors, which lower the intraprostatic DHT concentration, or aromatase
inhibitors, which lower the peripheral estrogen concentration. Read
