Role of adrenergic stimulants in correcting diabetes induced depression of seminal vesicle responsiveness in albino rats

ABSTRACT

Experimental diabetes was induced in albino rats by subtotal Pancreatectomy followed by glucose load. This caused a marked inhibition in the activity of the seminal vesicles. The administration of mono-amine oxidase inhibitor and T-Dopa caused a marked improvement in the adrenergic response of the seminal vesicles in diabetic rats. The results lead to the conclusion that diabetes impairs the neuro-muscular mechanism that regulates the function of the seminal vesicles
