Abstract
SummaryProstatic fluid secreted by castrated, testosterone-treated dogs in response to intravenously administered pilocarpine was collected in four 15 minute samples and analyzed for dry weight, protein and nonprotein content and acid phosphatase activity. The volume, dry weight, protein content and acid phosphatase activity of the first sample were greater than the subsequent 3 samples which in turn did not differ from each other. The higher dry weight of the first sample was attributable solely to its higher protein content. Significant correlations were found between the protein nitrogen content and the dry weight, the acid phosphatase activity and the NPN content and between the dry weight and the acid phosphatase activity and NPN content of the collected samples.
