Conclusions
Evaluation of DPP IV activities in expressed prostatic secretions indicates that the peripheral zone of the human prostate is a predominant source of DPP IV in prostatic secretions. Although, DPP IV activities are higher in prostate cancer tissues, there was not a statistically significant association of DPP IV activities in prostatic secretions and cancer as determined by biopsy.
