[The role of angiotensin-converting enzyme and angiotensin ii receptors of the second type in the pathogenesis of proliferative diseases of the prostate].

Angiotensin converting enzyme, angiotensin II, angiotensin II receptors of the first and second types represent the "classical" axis of regulation of the renin-angiotensin system. OBJECTIVE: to analyze the role of the components of the renin-angiotensin system in the pathogenesis of proliferative lesions of the prostate glan MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included 63 patients who underwent transrectal prostate biopsy. The first group consisted of 19 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, the second group consisted of 19 men whose prostate cancer was detected during repeated biopsy, the third group consisted of 25 men with prostate cancer detected during primary prostate biopsy.
