"Inhibin"-like protein, partially purified from the human prostate, was similar to that obtained from human seminal plasma under identical conditions. Concentration of inhibin in human prostate was tenfold higher as compared to human testis and was active biologically and immunologically. The presence of a high amount of inhibin in prostate seems to be unique in humans. Further inhibin concentration in benign prostatic hypertrophy tissue increased by tenfold in comparison to normal or cancerous tissue. Hence determination of serum level of inhibin may be used as a therapeutic tool to monitor prostate diseases.
从人前列腺中部分纯化得到的“抑制素”样蛋白，在相同条件下与从人精浆中获得的蛋白相似。人前列腺中抑制素的浓度比人睾丸中的高十倍，且具有生物学活性和免疫活性。前列腺中存在大量抑制素在人类中似乎是独一无二的。此外，与正常或癌组织相比，良性前列腺增生组织中抑制素的浓度增加了十倍。因此，测定血清抑制素水平可作为监测前列腺疾病的一种治疗工具。
