There is growing evidence that secretin, the first hormone discovered in our history, has
functions in the brain other than in the gastrointestinal tract. This article reports for the first …

Analyses of samples of luminal fluid from the rete testis, distal efferent ducts, and epididymal
regions 2–5 and 8 revealed that 91% of the fluid leaving the testis is reabsorbed by the …

Sites of protein absorption and secretion in the epididymis and changes in sperm
antigenicity during their maturation and senescence were investigated. Tissue and sperm …

The sequential interactions of epididymal secretory proteins with spermatozoa during
epididymal transit were examined. Mice received injections of 35S-methionine, and the …

The milieu surrounding the spermatozoa is certainly the most complex fluid found in any
exocrine gland. This complexity results from two particularities:(1) continuous and …

Sperm maturation in the rat epididymis is dependent on the secretion of specific proteins by
the epididymal epithelium and subsequent interaction of these proteins with spermatozoa …

The synthesis and secretion of proteins in the different regions of the human epididymis
were studied in vitro. Epididymal tissues obtained from patients undergoing castration for …

It has been shown that the rat epididymis secretes proteins and organic compounds which
may play a role in sperm maturation and storage. A method has been described to study …

Spermatozoa from the testis and cauda epididymidis of the rat were surface labelled with
radioactive iodide. Detergent extracts of radioiodinated spermatozoa immunoprecipitated …

Early studies in which the electrophoretic profiles of fluid from different regions of the
epididymis were compared with other body fluids, such as blood serum, suggested that …
