Sleep Deprivation Alters Rat Ventral Prostate Morphology, Leading to Glandular Atrophy : A Microscopic Study Contrasted with the Hormonal Assays

We investigated the effect of 96 h paradoxical sleep deprivation (PSD) and 21-day sleep restriction (SR) on prostate morphology using stereological assays in male rats. After euthanasia, the rat ventral prostate was removed, weighed, and prepared for conventional light microscopy. Microscopic analys...
