The invention provides an application of a
malus spectabilis tea extract in preparation of a
medicine for treating benign prostatic
hyperplasia. The influence of the
malus spectabilis tea extract on a benign prostatic
hyperplasia rat is discussed on the basis of
activity inhibition of 5 alpha-
reductase. Results show that the
malus spectabilis tea water extract and
phlorizin have no obvious toxic and side effects on visceral organs of each group of rats; the PI of the
malus spectabilis water extract is obviously reduced, the glandular epithelial
cell thickness is obviously reduced, the 5AR activity of the
malus spectabilis water extract is obviously reduced, the blood glucose of each
dose group and PG group of HT is obviously reduced, the concentration of
total cholesterol and low-density
lipoprotein is obviously reduced, the high-density
lipoprotein level can be obviously increased by HT-M, HT-H and PG, and the content of
triglyceride can be reduced by HT-H and PG. The results show that HT and PG have a remarkable inhibiting effect on prostatic
hyperplasia. The inhibition of 5AR activity and the reduction of DHT generation and T content are one of the action mechanisms, and the important characteristic is that the prostatic hyperplasia can be inhibited and abnormal
blood sugar and blood fat can be regulated at the same time.
