Prostate protective effect of thick extract of tribulus terrestris on the model of cryotrauma of the prostate gland in rats

Abstract

The search for modern prostate protectors based on native medicinal plant raw materials remains an urgent task of modern pharmacognosy and pharmacology. At the Department of Chemistry of Natural Compounds of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (Head Prof. V.S. Kyslychenko) in scientific cooperation with the Department of Pharmacology and Pharmacognosy of the Odesa National Medical University, the “Thick extract of the threshed from the fruits of Tribulus terrestris” (TETT) was obtained and standardized, which, thanks to a unique combination of natural compounds (a complex of phenolic compounds, flavonoids, saponins), could have potential prostatoprotective activity and have a positive effect on the reproductive function of animals. Aim: to establish the possibility of correcting violations of the structural and functional state of the prostate gland in rats with experimental prostatitis using TETT.
