  1. Body weight, prostate weight and prostatic index in the examination groups were as follows: normal group (vehicle), disease group, standard medicine group, groups treated with 300 mg/kg and 600 mg/kg JCS extract for 28 days
  2. TE testosterone enanthate, JCS Juniperus communis
  3. The values are expressed as Mean ± SEM (N = 6 animals /group). ***p < 0.001, **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05 vs Control, ###p < 0.001, ##p < 0.01 and #p < 0.05 vs TE group
