Parameters for equations (3) – T metabolism in the prostate.

1Blood flow rate to prostate is a function of prostate mass; see [36] for details.2Total mass of prostate is the total of basal and androgen sensitive cellular and ductal lumen masses [36]. In PM, prostate volume and mass were used interchangeably, assuming 1 g of ventral prostate tissue equals 1 mL. In this manuscript, we consistently refer to prostate measurement in mass, although we continue to use the original symbol Vp used in PM.
