Summary In the mechanical-inactive guinea-pig vas deferens X-rays (25 kV) at threshold doses of about 100 kR initiated phasic activity and an immediate increase in tone. After addition of acetylcholine, noradrenaline or adrenaline to the rinsing solution a slight contractile activity of vas deferens appeared and the preparation reacted to X-irradiation at a threshold dose of 3 to 5 kR (dose-rate 20 kR/min) with increased phasic contractions and with a dose and dose-rate dependent tonic contraction. After repeated irradiation a sensitization was observed. X-rays produced tonic contractions of the vas deferens preparation up to a total dose of about 200 kR (fractionated irradiation). An irreversible contraction of the vas appeared after continuous exposure to X-ray doses larger than 500 kR (dose-rate 20 kR/min). 相似文献

In the present study, effects of streptozotocin-induced diabetes and insulin treatment on the reactivity of rat vas deferens to KCl and calmidazolium, a calmodulin antagonist, were evaluated and calmodulin levels in vas deferens tissue from diabetic and insulin-treated rats were determined. Diabetes was induced in rats by a single injection of streptozotocin. Five weeks after the induction of diabetes, one group of diabetic rats was injected with insulin for 3 weeks. After 8 weeks, vas deferens tissues on one side of diabetic and insulin-treated diabetic rats and their controls were mounted in organ bath to measure isometric tension, while the tissues on the other side of rats were homogenized to determine calmodulin levels by radioimmunoassay. Concentration-response curves to KCl were obtained in vas deferens tissues in the absence and presence of calmidazolium. The effects of KCl and calmidazolium on vas deferens isolated from 8-weeks diabetic rats were decreased. Calmodulin levels were also found to be decreased in vas deferens from diabetic rats. Decreased calmodulin levels in diabetic rat vas deferens were not corrected by insulin treatment. Only a partial correction following insulin treatment was observed in contractile effect of KCl on diabetic rat vas deferens, whereas insulin treatment increases the affinity of calmodulin in this muscle. Experimental diabetes causes an impairment in calcium/calmodulin-dependent contractile process of vas deferens, which is correctable partially following insulin therapy. The changes in the function of rat vas deferens due to streptozotocin diabetes seem to be related to impaired sexual functions in human diabetes. 相似文献

The zinc and copper content in the different epididymal segments and vas deferens of castrated rats were investigated with the help of atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The vas deferens showed maximum zinc content as compared to that of different parts of epididymis in all groups whether castrated unilaterally, bilaterally or in the intact control. Zinc content was reduced in the epididymis and vas deferens ipsilateral to the castrated side as compared to that of contralateral control and intake animals. Lowest zinc content was observed in the epididymis and vas deferens of bilaterally castrated animals from that of other groups. Absence of sperms was observed in all segments of epididymis and vas in bilaterally castrated animals and from the unilaterally castrated side. Copper content was unaltered in all epididymal segments and vas deferens. There appears to be a correlation between the absence of sperms in the male genital tract and the decrease in zinc content. 相似文献

Fluoride was orally administered to rabbits at 10 mg NaF/kg body weight for 18 or 29 months. The animals were then killed and the structure of the testis, epididymis and vas deferens studied under light and scanning electron microscopes. In animals treated for 29 months, the spermatogenic cells in the seminiferous tubules were disrupted, degenerated and devoid of spermatozoa. In animals treated for 18 or 29 months, loss of cilia on the epithelial cells lining the lumen of the ductuli efferentes of the caput epididymidis and of stereocilia on the epithelial cells lining the lumen of the vas deferens was observed. In some regions of the epithelial lining of the lumen of the ductuli efferentes and vas deferens, the boundaries of the cells were not clear and appeared to be peeled off. Mucus droplets were abundant in the vas deferens of control animals, but absent in both the treated groups. Spermatogenesis ceased only in animals treated for 29 months. The difference in the structural changes observed in the testes of the 2 treated groups may have been due to the blood-testis barrier. It is concluded that ingestion of high concentrations of fluoride has harmful effects on the male reproductive system. 相似文献

Clonidine, when administered for prolonged period showed no tolerance to its analgesic activity. Prior exposure to clonidine attenuated the tolerance development to morphine-induced analgesia and the supersensitivity to acetylcholine (ACh) in ileum during chronic morphine treatment. Further, acute administration of lower doses of clonidine (upto 1 mg) produced supersensitivity in ileum to ACh while the higher dose (10 mg) induced subsensitivity. In vas deferens, clonidine in all the concentrations tested induced dose and time dependent supersensitivity to norepinephrine (NE) similar to that produced by morphine. Chronic clonidine treatment failed to alter the ACh responses in ileum while it produced supersensitivity to NE in vas deferens. The results suggest that clonidine and morphine possess comparable properties and the antagonism of chronic morphine tolerance by clonidine may be the therapeutic basis for its clinical application in the treatment of opiate addicts. 相似文献

The aim of this work was to study whether long-term treatment with fluoxetine could induce peripheral effects by modifying vas deferens contractile activity. For this purpose the contractile response to NE, and 5-HT of vas deferens isolated from male Wistar rats that received fluoxetine 10 mg/kg/day i.p., during 21 days, was studied using the isolated organ bath technique. Results show that vas deferens of treated rats presented spontaneous activity, an effect that was abolished by prazosin and isoproterenol and that was not affected by nitroprusside or indomethacin. In addition, fluoxetine did not modify the response to calcium suggesting that spontaneous activity was not a consequence of an abnormal calcium movement. Fluoxetine induced a significant increase in the response of vas deferens to 5-HT and to low NE concentrations while NE maximal effect was unaffected. Fluoxetine treatment did not modify the binding parameters of [3H]-prazosin to vas deferens. It is concluded that long-term treatment with fluoxetine modifies vas deferens contractile activity. This effect could be the result of an alteration of adrenergic neurotransmission and could account for some of the untoward effects observed during clinical course with fluoxetine. 相似文献

The effect of an opiate alkaloid and an opioid-like peptide was studied on the electrically evoked twitching of the vas deferens of 3 common laboratory rodents. Normorphine and the synthetic opioid peptide D-Alanine2 methionine enkephalinamide (D-Ala2) produced dose dependent inhibitions of the twitching response in the mouse vas deferens. In the rat vas, while β-endorphin (β-EP) caused an inhibitory effect in three strains of rats to a similar degree, morphine produced a dose related enhancement of the twitching. In the guinea pig, both morphine and β-EP caused an increased in the muscular twitch. The results are interpreted in terms of an heterogenous mixture of opiate receptors present in the vas deferens from these rodents. The mouse appears to contain mainly δ receptors while the rat has mostly ε receptors characterized by their specificity and sensitivity to the action of β-EP. The guinea pig vas deferens has apparently lost the sensitivity to the inhibitory influence of the opioids, suggesting the absence of μ or δ opiate receptors in this tissue. 相似文献

An endogenous brain substance, CDS (clonidine-displacing-substance), inhibits the twitch response of rat vas deferens 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The effect of CDS, an endogenous brain substance that specifically displaces bound [3H]clonidine and [3H]rauwolscine in rat brain membranes and human platelets, has been tested in isolated, field-stimulated rat vas deferens. CDS, obtained after an extensive purification procedure as a single peak from an HPLC sizing column, inhibited the electrically stimulated rat vas deferens similarly to the inhibitory action of clonidine, an alpha 2-agonist. The effective dose of CDS as an inhibitor of the vas deferens is equivalent to its effective dose in displacing specifically bound [3H]-clonidine in rat brain membranes. Furthermore, the CDS inhibition of the twitch response is reversed by two alpha 2-adrenergic antagonists, yohimbine and phentolamine. From these results, it is suggested that CDS extracted from brain, with affinity for clonidine sites, may be involved in the nonadrenergic fast response of the sympathetic transmission of the vas deferens. 相似文献

The morphology of the male reproductive system was studied in Cherax quadricarinatus. The testes and vasa deferentia were dissected, fixed, cut and stained. Testes appear as two parallel and opalescent strands; they present many testicular lobes, each lobe containing cells in the same stage of the spermatogenic cycle. A vas deferens arises from the external side of each testis and three parts were clearly distinguished: proximal vas deferens (PVD), middle vas deferens (MVD) and distal vas deferens (DVD). The PVD is opalescent and highly convoluted, the MVD is pale white in colour and convoluted, but wider in diameter than the PVD, while the DVD shows the widest diameter, is straight and is white in colour. A single‐layered epithelium is recognized in the vas deferens; with cylindrical cells in the PVD and cuboid cells in the MVD and DVD. The formation of the spermatophore starts at the PVD, while the secondary layer of the spermatophore seems to be added at the MVD. At the DVD, the highly coiled spermatophore is surrounded by the periodic acid Schiff‐positive sticky components of the secondary layer. Many aspects of spermatophore formation in C. quadricarinatus differ from those of other Astacida. The applied aspects of this study for aquaculture purposes are discussed. 相似文献

Action of ethanol on animals with different predisposition to alcohol consumption depended on the level of ethanol metabolism or sensitivity of nervous system to alcohol. There was studied the ethanol effects on contraction of rat vas deferens. Such an approach enables to distinguish the metabolic effects from action on nervous system. It was shown, that dose of ethanol, which inhibits the contraction of rat vas deferens of by 50% is the same in both groups of rats, but the ED50 of adenosin and beta-endorphin were 1.7 and 4.7 times lower for vas deferens of predisposed rats. It's possible to suggest the differences between two groups of rats to be connected with the effects of ethanol on purinergic and endorphinergic system, but not with ethanol itself. 相似文献

Sperm enter the anterior vas deferens individually in the spider crab male. There they become surrounded by secretion products from the cells of the vas deferens, and are compartmentalized into spermatophores of varying size. The anterior vas deferens can be divided into three regions. The epithelium of the anterior vas deferens varies regionally from low to high columnar. The cytoplasm contains vast arrays of rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complexes but few mitochondria. Intercellular spaces contain septate junctions, gap junctions and vesicles. Once the spermatophores have been formed in the anterior vas deferens, they are moved posteriorly to the middle vas deferens where they are stored and surrounded by seminal fluids. The epithelial cells of the middle vas deferens contain large amounts of rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complexes. Numerous micropinocytotic vesicles appear, forming at the cell surface and within the apical cytoplasm. Their suggested function is the resorption of secretion products of the anterior vas deferens which initiated compartmentalization of the spermatozoa into spermatophores. The posterior vas deferens functions primarily as a storage center for spermatophores until they are released at the time of copulation. Seminal fluid surrounding the spermatophores is produced in this region as well as in the middle vas deferens. The cells of this region contain vast arrays of vesicular rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complexes. The cells are multinucleate. Microtubules are numerous throughout the length of the cells and appear to insert on the plasma membrane. 相似文献

Changes in resting membrane potential induced by active sensitization in the guinea-pig vas deferens

Smooth muscles hyperresponsiveness is a common feature in anaphylaxis and allergic diseases. The aim of the present work was to investigate whether the enhanced reactivity of sensitized guinea-pig vas deferens was associated with changes in the resting membrane potential (Er) of the smooth muscle cells. Active sensitization was performed by subcutaneous injection of egg albumen. Er was measured in vitro in isolated vas deferens with conventional KCl-filled microelectrodes. Quantification of [3H]ouabain binding sites, measurements of 86Rb efflux, and measurements of Na and K contents were also performed. In normal physiological solution, at 35 degrees C, Er was a mean of -54.1+/-0.3 mV (mean +/- SEM) in control vas deferens. Sensitization resulted in depolarizing Er by about 7 mV. In control and sensitized preparations, the 3H-ouabain binding site concentration, the efflux of 86Rb, and the K content were similar. In guinea-pig vas deferens, active sensitization induced a partial depolarization of the resting membrane potential of the smooth muscle cells, which did not result from a downregulation of Na+ -K+ pump sites. 相似文献

The effects of the d- and l-isomers of pentazocine were compared to that of racemic pentazocine on contractions of the mouse isolated vas deferens. L-pentazocine inhibited electrically evoked contractions of the mouse vas deferens (MVD) in a dose-dependent manner (ID50 0.37 +/- 0.04 microM). In contrast, d-pentazocine augmented field stimulated contractions dose-dependently; per cent increases in contractions at 10 and 30 microM were 57.8 +/- 18.0 and 98.0 +/- 15.1%, respectively. Racemic pentazocine produced an intermediate effect between the two isomers. The effect of 1-pentazocine was antagonized by naloxone, whereas that of d-pentazocine was not. L-pentazocine did not effect the response of the MVD to exogenous norepinephrine at any concentration tested, while d-pentazocine depressed the response of the MVD to exogenous norepinephrine at one dose (0.3 microM). These findings demonstrate that d- and l-pentazocine produce opposite effects on the MVD. The effects of l-pentazocine are opioid mediated, while those of d-pentazocine are not. In the racemic mixture the opposing effects of the two isomers modulate each other, resulting in a diminished effect. 相似文献

Aqueous extract of C. collinus leaves inhibited norepinephrine induced contraction in guinea pig vas deferens and aortic strip in a dose-dependent manner. Inhibition of acetylcholine induced contraction in ileum was dose independent. C. collinus extract per se had no effect on isolated guinea pig vas deferens and aortic strip, but inhibited norepinephrine induced contraction in a dose-dependent manner probably by its antagonist action on alpha-adrenergic receptor. It had inconsistent effect on guinea pig ileum in vitro preparation. 相似文献

日本沼虾输精管的结构及其在精荚形成中作用的研究 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
应用光镜和透射电镜技术研究了日本沼虾输精管的结构及其在精荚形成中的作用。结果表明,日本沼虾输精管从形态结构上可分为近端输精管、卷曲输精管、远端输精管和膨大的远端输精管四部分。各部分的管壁皆由分泌上皮、基膜、肌肉层和结缔组织构成,其中分泌上皮包括高度明显不同的低柱状上皮和高拄状上皮两部分。输精管各部分管腔内含有处于不同形成阶段的精荚。进入近端输精管内的精子被支撑在一种嗜酸性基质中。近端输精管的分泌物主要帮助形成精子团,同时形成精荚壁的极小部分。卷曲和远端输精管分泌形成精荚壁的绝大部分,其分泌物由细胞顶端通过外排作用和顶泌机制分泌产生。膨大的远端输精管具有贮存精荚的作用,其分泌上皮也通过外排作用和顶泌机制产生分泌物包裹在已基本形成的精荚外侧,管壁肌肉层在雌雄交配时将管腔内的精荚切割成适宜长度并排出体外。

The aim of this study was to verify, by means of functional methods, whether the circadian rhythm changes adrenergic response patterns in the epididymal half of the vas deferens isolated from control rats as well as from rats submitted to acute stress. The experiments were performed at 9:00 a.m., 3:00 p.m., 9:00 p.m., and 3:00 a.m. The results showed a light-dark dependent variation of the adrenergic response pattern on organs isolated from control as well as from stressed rats. In the control group, only the phenylephrine sensitivity was changed throughout the circadian rhythm. Under the stress condition, both norepinephrine and phenylephrine response patterns were changed, mainly during darkness. The maximal contractile response to both alpha- and beta-agonist and alpha1-agonist was increased in the dark phase, corresponding to high plasmatic concentrations of endogenous melatonin. The vas deferens isolated from stressed rats during the light phase simultaneously incubated with exogenous melatonin showed the same pattern of response obtained in the dark phase, thus indicating a peripheric action of melatonin on this organ. Therefore, the circadian rhythms are important to the adrenergic response pattern in rat vas deferens from both control and stressed rats. In conclusion, we suggest a melatonin modulation on alpha1-postsynaptic adrenergic response in the rat vas deferens. 相似文献

Prostaglandins (PGs), E-2, F-2 alpha, 6-keto-F-1 alpha and thromboxane B-2 (TXB-2), produced in vitro by the vas deferens of rats at different stages of sexual maturation (10, 35 and 100 days of age), were estimated by radioimmunoassay. Reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography was used to evaluate the RIA and to give a more complete profile, after incubation of the vas deferens with [14C]arachidonic acid. The amount of PGE-2 released into the medium after incubation at 37 degrees C for 5 min increased with age, and was the predominant prostanoid in the adult vas deferens. In prepubertal organs, 6-keto-PGF-1 alpha predominated. TXB-2 was always a minor product. The addition of exogenous arachidonic acid (10 micrograms/ml/20 mg tissue), provoked a higher production of the four compounds. PGE-2 and PGF-2 alpha levels were reduced after castration or hypophysectomy and were re-instated after treatment with testosterone propionate. PGE-2 was much more sensitive to hormonal deprivation than PGF-2 alpha. The production of 6-keto-PGF-1 alpha was not significantly affected by the above treatments. 相似文献

Morphine reduces the output of transmitter from the myenteric plexus-longitudinal muscle preparation of the guinea-pig ileum and from the mouse vas deferens. Intracellular recordings were made from ganglion cells of the myenteric plexus and smooth muscle cells of the vas deferens. Synaptic transmission within the myenteric plexus was blocked by hexamethonium. Morphine did not change the properties of the ganglion cells, nor did it affect synaptic potentials. 5-Hydroxytryptamine inhibited acetylcholine release at intraganglionic synapses by an action which was unaffected by morphine. In the vas deferens, excitatory junction potentials were elicited by stimulation of postganglionic adrenergic nerve fibres. The junction potentials were depressed by morphine and levorphanol but not by dextrorphan. This depression was reversed by naloxone. The results indicate that morphine acts directly to reduce transmitter release at the neuro-effector junctions in the myenteric plexus-longitudinal muscle preparation and in the vas deferens in these species. 相似文献
