Adrenergic response of isolated seminal vesicles of normal and diabetic albino rats as influenced by prior administration of separate doses of androgens and estrogens

ABSTRACT

Experimental diabetes was induced in albino rats by subtotal Pancreatectomy followed by oral glucose load. This caused marked inhibition in the seminal vesicle activity as recorded by the response to epinephrine hydrochloride. Experimentally diabetic animals were treated with separate doses of male and female sex hormones. The seminal vesicle function of diabetic animals was restored to the normal by 89.37% by using the male sex hormone and by 4.28% when the female sex hormone was administered
