The effect of administration of hydro-ethanolic extract of <i>Laportea aestuans</i> (La) leaves at different doses in Wistar rats induced with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) using antioxidant parameters and phytochemical screening data was obtained. Thirty (30) animals were randomly divided into six (6) groups (A-F) of five (5) animals each. BPH was induced in the animals by daily subcutaneous injection of testosterone propionate (TP) (3 mg/kg) in olive oil and administration of treatments for four (4) weeks were done concurrently.
