(c), (d) Gene expressions of ERβ and AR in prostate of rats were tested by RT-qPCR in sham-operated group, BPH model, and CS groups. (e) Protein expressions of ERα, ERβ, and AR were determined by western blot in sham-operated group, BPH model, and CS groups. Compare with sham-operated group, ; compare with BPH model, , , and .
