TLDR
A clear cell-free fluid uncontaminated with serum was collected from the testis of rat, goat, rhesus monkey, and human by techniques involving no direct pressure on the organ.

Chapter 9 – Reproductive Biology

TL;DR: This chapter primarily utilized the data available for the more commonly used species, and the present information from the lesser used species for research in reproductive biology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Studies on the mechanism of action of alpha-monochlorohydrin.

TL;DR: The induction of lesions in hypophysectomised gonadotropin-stimulated animals suggests that the action of chlorohydrin is not mediated through Gonadotropins, andAlpha-chlorohydrin administered intratesticularly did not evoke any changes in the histo-architecture of the testis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-term effect of a continuous low dose of megestrol acetate on the genital organs and fertility of female rats

TL;DR: Micro doses of megestrol acetate were administered to 16 rats for 1 year to determine the effect on the genital organs and female fertility and the factors contributing to pregnancy failure were inhibition of mating, implantation failure and fetal resorption.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sequential histopathological and biochemical events in rat caput epididymis after alpha monochlorohydrin administration

TL;DR: There was no effect of drug on motility and morphology of spermatozoa examined from different segments of epididymis and vas deferens, and on the contrary increase in SDH, cholesterol and glycogen was observed after drug treatment.

Chemical composition of the acrosomes of ram spermatozoa.

E. F. Hartree, +1 more
- 01 Feb 1965 - 
TL;DR: Two lipid fractions, show marked similarities and taking into consideration the chemical changes that may occur during the isolation of these fractions it is deduced that they provide a reasonable approximation to the composition of the acrosomes.

Mechanism of stimulation of aortic chemoreceptors by natural stimuli and chemical substances

TL;DR: There was no demonstrable difference between the responses of the endings of medullated and non‐medullated fibres respectively to any of the natural stimuli, such as hypoxia, reduction in blood pressure, or reduction in O2 content, which indicates that the generator processes are qualitatively and quantitatively identical at the ending of both types of fibres.

Composition of ram epididymal and testicular fluid and the biosynthesis of glycerylphosphorylcholine by the rabbit epididymis

TL;DR: The most striking finding was a decrease in the concentration of sodium and chloride in passing from the testis through the epididymis to the vas deferens with a corresponding increase in glycerylphosphorylcholine (gpc) and total phosphorus.

Some functions of the caput epididymis.

TL;DR: On the basis of evidence available, it is assumed that a considerable volume of fluid is required to transfer mature sperm from their point of origin in the seminiferous tubules to the excurrent duct system, and that the ducts comprising the first portion of this system, especially the ductuli efferentes, absorb that portion of fluid which is not necessary for propulsion of the sperm mass through the ducting of the epididymis proper.
