the following observations were made when comparing individual enzymatic activities between the 3 tissue groups : 1 ) mean 5 alpha-reductase activity was lower in carcinoma than in both normal prostate and bph ( p less than 0.05 ) , 2 ) mean 3 alpha-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase and 3 beta-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase activities were greater in carcinoma than in bph ( p less than 0.05 ) and 3 ) mean acid phosphatase activity was higher in bph than in both normal prostate and carcinoma ( p less than 0.01 ) .
C0020392
hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase
C0000413
