| Abstract: | TRH and a TRH-like peptide have been shown to occur throughout the male rat reproductive system by TRH radioimmunoassay, SP-Sephadex C25 cation exchange chromatography, high pressure liquid chromatography and parallel line analysis. The total concentration of TRH and TRH-like peptide was highest in the prostate followed by the testis, cauda epididymis and seminal vesicles. Dilution curves for extracts of prostate, testis and seminal vesicles were parallel with TRH while the corresponding curve for epididymis was nonparallel. |
