锯棕榈到泌尿系统症状

It it showed in recent studies that benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) occurs in approximately 50 percent of men over the age of 50 and in 75 percent of men 80 and older.它在最近的研究中表明，良性前列腺增生（BPH）发生在大约XNUMX％的XNUMX岁以上男性和XNUMX％的XNUMX岁以上男性中。 Physician-scientists are studying an herbal supplement that might aid in relieving the symptoms of enlarged prostate in men.医师科学家正在研究一种草药补充剂，它可能有助于缓解男性前列腺增大的症状。 
Research shows that compounds called phytoesterols which is found in saw palmetto, might prevent prostate enlargement.研究表明，在锯棕榈中发现的称为植物甾醇的化合物可能会阻止前列腺肿大。 Researchers believe that prostate swelling may be caused by a rise in dihydrotestosterone (DHT) -- a testosterone derivative involved in prostate growth -- over a male's lifespan, especially during middle age.研究人员认为，前列腺肿胀可能是由男性双氢睾丸激素（DHT）升高引起的，双氢睾丸激素是一种参与前列腺生长的睾丸激素衍生物，尤其是在中年时期。 Scientists are unclear about what causes the hormone to rise with time.科学家尚不清楚什么导致激素随时间升高。 However, escalating estrogen within the body has been correlated with, but has not been proven to be directly promoting BPH.然而，体内不断增加的雌激素与之相关，但尚未被证明能直接促进BPH。 Just like a basketball player blocking a shot from going into a basket, phytoesterols in saw palmetto might block natural estrogen from binding to receptors in the body.就像篮球运动员阻止射门进入篮筐一样，锯棕榈中的植物甾醇可能会阻止天然雌激素与体内受体结合。
