Abstract in brief

  • The study found that curcumin, a natural compound, can help prevent benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in rats by reducing prostate enlargement and protecting prostate tissue, similar to the drug finasteride.
  • Curcumin treatment decreased levels of growth factors like VEGF, TGF1, and IGF1, which are involved in prostate growth and BPH progression.
  • Overall, these results suggest that curcumin might be a useful herbal option or functional food to help manage BPH in males.]
