Expression of Aquaporins in Prostate and Seminal Vesicles of Diabetic Rats

Decreased weight of prostate secretions in diabetic rats may be partly due to decreased levels of AQPs 1, 3, and 4 in prostatic tissue. Decreased weight of seminal vesicle secretions in diabetic rats may be partly due to decreased levels of AQP1 and AQP4 in seminal vesicles. There is no relationship between the expression of AQPs 1-4 and the duration of disease. Pei L, Yang G, Jiang J, Jiang R, Deng Q, Chen B, and Gan X.
