Abstract:
With the development of living standard and the aging society, the incidences of metabolic syndrome and benign prostatic hyperplasia are getting higher and higher. Recent studies show that both metabolic syndrome and benign prostatic hyperplasia are associated with blood vessel injury, hyperinsulinemia and over-activity of the sympathetic nerve. This article presents an overview on the interaction of these two diseases.
