Prostate
The gland in the body of males that produces the liquid which carries sperm into the females (during mating).

In older human males, the prostate will often become enlarged (e.g., by "antagonism" when estrogen molecules circulating in the blood contact its surface). Via the selective estrogen effect, isoflavones (e.g., from soybeans) consumed by such males can displace & replace those estrogen molecules from the surface of the prostate (thereby preventing enlargement).
