The Role of Adenosine in Prostate Health: A Comprehensive Review
The prostate gland, an essential component of the male reproductive system, is susceptible to various disorders, including benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostatitis, and prostate cancer. Adenosine, a ubiquitous endogenous purine nucleoside, regulates numerous physiological processes through its interactions with specific receptors. While adenosine’s role in various organ systems is well-established, its involvement in prostate health has only recently gained attention. Understanding the effects of adenosine on prostate function could offer insights into the pathophysiology of prostate disorders and potential therapeutic interventions.
