Abstract
The observed changes were consistent with urethral obstruction induced by prostate enlargement and/or suburethral tumor. Additional studies are required to ascertain whether prostate enlargement per se is sufficient to produce urethral obstruction in the TRAMP mouse. This transgenic mouse strain may provide a model of slow-onset outlet obstruction that is more representative of bladder outlet obstruction caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia than is the obstruction produced by urethral ligation.
