Novel Action of Botulinum Toxin on the Stromal and Epithelial Components of the Prostate Gland

BTX-A injection into the prostate alters cellular dynamics by inducing apoptosis, inhibiting proliferation and down-regulating alpha(1A) adrenergic receptors. BTX-A may potentially be the drug that has dual actions on the static and dynamic components of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
