S Battersby, J A Chandler, M E Harper

    Urological Research
    |January 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study details the ultrastructure of rhesus monkey prostate tissue, comparing immature and mature glands. Findings reveal distinct cellular differences between gland lobes, offering a baseline for human prostate research.

    Area of Science:

    • Comparative Ultrastructural Anatomy
    • Primate Biology
    • Urology

    Background:

    • The rhesus monkey prostate serves as a valuable model for studying human prostate biology.
    • Understanding prostate ultrastructure is crucial for interpreting experimental results and disease states.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the ultrastructural characteristics of immature and mature rhesus monkey prostate glands.
    • To compare the ultrastructure of rhesus monkey prostate with human prostate tissue.
    • To establish a basis for comparative analysis in prostate research.

    Main Methods:

    • Transmission electron microscopy was employed to examine prostate tissue.
    • Immature and mature rhesus monkey prostate tissues were analyzed.
    • Comparative analysis with existing human prostate ultrastructural data was performed.

    Main Results:

    • Immature rhesus monkey prostate epithelium is undifferentiated with minimal secretory activity.
    • Mature prostate exhibits typical glandular characteristics, including columnar epithelial and basal cells.
    • Differences were noted between prostate lobes: caudal lobe rich in secretory granules, cranial lobe with taller vacuolated cells.

    Conclusions:

    • The ultrastructure of the rhesus monkey prostate shows distinct features in immature versus mature glands.
    • Specific differences between caudal and cranial lobes provide detailed anatomical insights.
    • This ultrastructural description serves as a reference for future in vivo/in vitro studies and human prostate comparisons.
