Predictive sites of inflammatory manifestation in the prostatic gland: an experimental study on nonbacterial prostatitis in the rat.
In rats that had been subjected to standardized experimental stress stimuli for 3 and 10 days, respectively, prostatic inflammatory changes of type nonbacterial prostatitis were found in a lobe-differentiated histological examination. The inflammatory manifestations were marked in the ventral lobes, whereas they were sparse in the dorsolateral lobes. The lobe difference in this respect corresponds to a concomitant difference in morphology and tissue chemical content.
