Abstract

During experimental studies on the physiological significance of accessory sex glands, it was documented that excision of prostate in rats did not affect fecundity; conversely, surgical removal of seminal vesicles or its plasma consistently made the animals infertile. However, fertility of the plasma-removed animals was found to return to normalcy after 3 weeks following the surgical manipulation. Human chorionic gonadotropin or testosterone treatment starting immediately after surgical manipulation of the vesicular plasma retained fertility throughout the test period. The importance of seminal vesicular plasma in terms of male fertility has been discussed.
