Fig 2: Representative histological sections of the ventral prostate immunostaining to the target proteins. SCAP showed dispersed coloring in the cytoplasm and some markings in the apical region. CD36 was marked predominantly in the region of the Golgi complex. LIMP II was marked as clusters in the cytoplasm and the apical membrane. SREBP was marked predominantly in the region of the Golgi complex, but there were also scattered markings in the cytoplasm. The arrows point to positive marks. Lu = lumen, Ep = epithelium, St = stroma.

Fig 3: SCAP, CD36, LIMP-II, and SREBP expression levels in the prostate, by Western blotting (n = 8). The target bands were quantified and normalized by β-actin expression (left). Each bar represents the mean ± SD of the experimental groups. Statistical analysis was performed using ANOVA followed by Tukey. *** p ≤ 0.001 (right).
