Abstract

The present research used immunohistochemistry to analyse the detection and localisation of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) isoforms in the ductuli efferentes and epididymis of prepubertal and adult alpaca. In the ductuli efferentes and epididymis of prepubertal and adult animals, nNOS and eNOS were similarly expressed in epithelial lining cells, conversely differences were observed in the immunopresence of iNOS. Our data provide evidence that NOS isoforms may have roles in reproductive functions and in the developmental processes of the excurrent duct system in the alpaca.
