The prostate gland plays an important role in male reproduction. It secretes enzymes, lipids, amines and metal ions essential for the normal function of spermatozoa. Development, differentiation and maintenance of the prostate gland depend on steroid and peptide hormones. Beside hormones growth factors also regulate the prostate gland. This review will focus on the structure, functions and mode of regulation of the prostate gland.
前列腺在男性生殖中起着重要作用。它分泌对精子正常功能至关重要的酶、脂质、胺类和金属离子。前列腺的发育、分化和维持依赖于类固醇激素和肽类激素。除了激素，生长因子也对前列腺起到调节作用。本综述将聚焦于前列腺的结构、功能及调节方式。
