Finasteride 49-60 fibroblast growth factor 2 Homo sapiens 89-93 17921535-1 2007 The results of our study showed, that long-term combined medical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (Finasteride 5 mg/day + Tamsulosin 0.4 mg/day) significantly decreases values of IPSS and residual urine volume (RUV) in patients, which basic level of bFGF in serum does not exceed 5.9 pg/ml. Finasteride 108-119 fibroblast growth factor 2 Homo sapiens 259-263 10386468-7 1999 METHODS: The expression levels of bFGF, FGFR1, and FGFR2 in 9 patients with prostatic hyperplasia treated with finasteride were assessed by immunohistochemistry and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis of mRNA expression and were compared with those of 9 control patients with untreated BPH. Finasteride 111-122 fibroblast growth factor 2 Homo sapiens 34-38 10386468-15 1999 CONCLUSIONS: A marked reduction in bFGF levels is seen in BPH treated with finasteride in comparison to untreated BPH. Finasteride 75-86 fibroblast growth factor 2 Homo sapiens 35-39 10386468-16 1999 In our opinion, finasteride may act as a negative regulator of bFGF expression, counteracting the role of bFGF in the development of BPH. Finasteride 16-27 fibroblast growth factor 2 Homo sapiens 63-67 10386468-16 1999 In our opinion, finasteride may act as a negative regulator of bFGF expression, counteracting the role of bFGF in the development of BPH. Finasteride 16-27 fibroblast growth factor 2 Homo sapiens 106-110
