EFFECT OF PRUNING HEIGHT ON THE PRODUCTION OF ORTOTROPIC BUDS OR BRANCHES IN VIVERO CONDITIONS

Abstract

Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a glycoprotein secreted by the epithelial cells of the prostate, total PSA is usually found at levels below 4ng / ml, however, higher levels are detected in benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostatitis, prostate cancer, therefore, a periodic control of the total PSA is indispensable. On the other hand, the research was observational in a descriptive manner whose objective was to determine the PSA values through the micro ELISA technique in adults aged 40 to 49 who belong to the 15 urban parishes of the city of Cuenca. In this context, it was possible to determine that 5% of the studied inhabitants have values higher than 4ng / ml, while the remaining 95% do not present major problems. Statistically, the ratio of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) values obtained from the inhabitants with the body mass index (BMI) and family history of prostate disease was demonstrated, given that the values obtained (p = 0.000) are within the range of allowed acceptance of statistical significance (p <0.05).
