In-vivo E. ulmoides (EU) extract and ventral prostate growth in prepubertal male WISTAR rats. The androgenic effect of oral E. ulmoides liquid formulation on ventral prostate growth. Prepubertal male WISTAR rats were administered ethanolic E. ulmoides (EU) extracts via gavaging with doses of 1 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg and 50 mg. Control animals were given oral doses of vehicle (ethanolic water) only. Prostatic growth is expressed as the weight of the ventral prostate gland normalized to 100 g body weight of the individual rats. Each data point is mean ± SE of five animals' ventral prostate weights.
