ABSTRACT
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and associated lower urinary tract symptoms are common clinical concerns that affect aging men all over the world. The underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms remain elusive. Over the past few years, a number of animal models of BPH, including spontaneous model, BPH-induction model, xenograft model, metabolic syndrome model, mechanical obstruction model, and transgenic model, have been established that may provide useful tools to fill these critical knowledge gaps. In this review, we therefore outlined the present status quo for animal models of BPH, comparing the pros and cons with respect to their ability to mimic the etiological, histological, and clinical hallmarks of BPH and discussed their applicability for future research.
