MIR92A

upin rats1

1 study
  1. Prazosin increases MIR92A in rats.

    “reversed miR-92a gene expression, as well as Akt, mTOR, and NF-κB protein expressions in the aging hippocampus”

    Animalsin aging hippocampushippocampus1 mg/kg4 weeksmalesn = 8

    Age-dependent increase in apoptosis is associated with dysregulation of miR-92a/Akt/mTOR and NF-κB signaling pathways in male rats

Acrosome damage

no changein rats1

1 study
  1. Prazosin has no effect on acrosome damage in rats.

    “Prazosin treatment alleviated the effects of hypertension on sperm concentration and motility but not acrosome damage.”

1 study
  1. Prazosin decreases blood pressure in rats.

    “Lower blood pressure was observed either in prazosin or losartan-treated adult or aged SHRs.”
