Immunofluorescence assays for α-SMA in prostate histological sections of adult (3 months old) and senile (24 months old) male Mongolian gerbils. (A–F) A thick layer of smooth muscle cells, labeled for α-SMA, surrounds the prostate alveoli. (G–L) The layer of smooth muscle cells that surrounds the alveoli becomes thinner.
