Figure 2.  GABAa receptor (GABAar) immunostaining in human prostate specimens. Representative prostate cancer specimens showing low (A), moderate (B) and high (C, D) stromal immunostaining. GABAar immunoreactivity in the stroma of one normal (E) and one BPH (F) specimen. GABAar immunostaining in the acinar epithelium of a prostate cancer specimen (G). Magnification 100×(A-F) and 400×(G, H). A magnified region (400×) within D is shown in H.
