Abstract
Summary and ConclusionsThe role of LTH (luteotrophic hormone, prolactin or lactogenic hormone) in stimulating epithelium of seminal vesicles of castrated guinea pigs has been tested in 2 series of experiments. LTH alone had no effect on seminal vesicles of castrates. LTH together with subminimal testosterone propionate caused significant increase in weight of seminal vesicles as well as height of epithelium. A high priming dose of TP was required before LTH stimulated visible secretion. Doubling the dose of LTH after priming with TP caused a corresponding increase in seminal vesicle weight. Prostates, testes, mammary glands, adrenals and pituitaries did not show any significant differences in structure or size when various levels of LTH were present. The results are in agreement with the findings of Pasqualini (1) and Chase et al.(2).
