Effects of Qianlie Tongqiao Capsule on Bladder Weight and Growth Factors in Bladder Tissue of Rats with Testosterone-Induced Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Table 3

Effects of QTC on bladder weight and bladder index in TP-induced BPH rats.

Groups	Body weight (g)	Bladder weight (mg)	Bladder index (mg/g)
Sham	403.7 ± 10.8	135.08 ± 7.04	0.333 ± 0.011
Model	393.7 ± 7.6	198.77 ± 4.04	0.505 ± 0.007
QTC Low	409.7 ± 10.0	204.32 ± 6.53	0.498 ± 0.006
QTC Middle	402.7 ± 9.0	183.17 ± 6.45	0.454 ± 0.006
QTC High	412.8 ± 9.9	173.15 ± 5.83	0.419 ± 0.009

All data were presented as mean ± SEM, 8 rats in each group; bladder index was calculated as the bladder weight/body weight ratio. Compared to the sham group, P < 0.01, compared to the model group, P < 0.05, and P < 0.01. QTC Low: low dosage of Qianlie Tongqiao Capsule, QTC Middle: middle dosage of Qianlie Tongqiao Capsule, and QTC High: high dosage of Qianlie Tongqiao Capsule.
