Role of male and female sex hormones in combination in correcting diabetes induced depression of seminal vesicle responsiveness

ABSTRACT

Experimental diabetes caused a reduction in the activity of the seminal vesicle by 46.76% of the average normal control. An increment in the seminal vesicle activity of 4.72% was observed when normal animals were treated with both male and female sex hormones in combination. The administration of the same hormones to diabetic rats improved the activity of seminal vesicle by 112.15%. In the seminal vesicles, a synergistic action between androgens and estrogens on its activity has been proved
