Background: Finasteride and doxazosin are used for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays an important role in BPH, little is known about the growth inhibition and anti-fibrosis effects of doxazosin on the regulation of EMT and morphology in the prostate.
Objectives: The present study examined the effects of doxazosin on testosterone propionate (TP)-induced prostate growth in vivo and in vitro and its impact on the EMT and TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway.

Research Question: What are the long-term effects of different models of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and which model could be used in future research?
Design: PCOS models induced by letrozole, letrozole plus high-fat diet (LE+HFD), testosterone propionate (TP) or testosterone propionate plus HFD (TP+HFD) were established in rats. Body weight, energy intake, blood glucose, sex hormone concentrations, lipid profiles and the oestrus cycle were observed. Histology of ovaries, large intestine and fat was displayed.
