abstract：:Prostate growth is known to be controlled by steroids such as androgens and estradiol. For this reason steroids (estradiol, adrenal androgens) or steroid inhibitors are commonly used as palliative treatments for prostate carcinoma. In view of the pivotal role played by Ca2+ ions in cell proliferation, we decided to in...
