OTOH, HMB is used in the treatment of men with prostate cancer who are on androgen deprivation therapy:

I couldn't find any human studies of the effect of HMB on a healthy prostate, though there are many websites which discuss the use of HMB by humans:

https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/hmb#benefits

I've been using HMB daily since. November of '21 and haven't noticed any increase in nocturnal pee frequency or anything else other than much improved muscle recovery.
I couldn’t download the HMB paper, but it had no discernible mechanistic hypothesis, leading the journal editor in me to suspect an incidental finding reported with a post-hoc motivating question, and it was published in a small, regional journal. All in all, not worried at this point.
