The high concentration of free myo-inositol in rete testis fluid from rams.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A high concentration of free inositol has been found in the semen of a number of species and most of this seems to arise from the accessory glands, not the epididymis (Mann, 1954, 1964; Hartree, 1957). However, appreciable concentrations of myo-inositol occur in the testis (Dawson & Freinkel, 1961), and recent evidence suggests that it is most likely formed there from glucose via glucose-6-phosphate and d-myo-inositol-l-phosphate (Eisenberg, 1967). This high concentration in the testis prompted us to examine the levels of free inositol in rete testis fluid.

Concentrations of myo-inositol in the luminal fluid of the mammalian testis and epididymis.
The concentration of free myo-inositol was measured in the luminal fluid removed by micropuncture from the testis and epididymis of rat, hamster, rabbit, rhesus monkey, baboon, ram and boar. The highest concentration (mM) was found in the epididymal luminal fluid from the cauda epididymidis of the hamster (90) and the rat (50), and the lowest was seen in the rabbit (< 0.5), and boar (1.0-1.2), ...
متن کاملRelationship between rete testis fluid secretion and testicular structure in the ram.
A rete testis cannulation technique was used to compare the secretion of rete testis fluid with the production of spermatozoa and histological testicular parameters in Ile-de-France rams. Thirteen testes were cannulated and rete testis fluid variables were compared to histological variables of the same testis. The rate of flow of rete testis fluid was significantly (P less than or equal to 0.05...
متن کاملMyo-inositol at High Concentration Reduced Viability and Proliferation of Rat Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells via Electrolyte Imbalance and Elevation of Aerobic Metabolism
Myo-inositol (MI) which is produced at low concentration is an essential substance for animal’s natural growth. This study was performed to investigate the effects of MI on viability, proliferation and some biochemical factors of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). To investigate the cell viability using trypan blue assay, BMSCs after third passage were treated with different concen...
متن کاملThe role of testicular fluid on blood plasma levels of FSH and LH in the ram ( 1
The secretion of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) is partly regulated by a non-steroid factor, inhibin, present in the testicular lymph and rete testis fluid (RTF). We were interested to know whether the RTF excreted into the epididymis has a regulatory role on the secretion of FSH and LH. The remaining rete testis of 6 adult rams hemicastrated 6 to 10 months earl...
متن کاملA review on the role of inositol in aquaculture
Inositol is usually classified as an essential vitamin for most animals, and is recognised as a part of the B-complex vitamins. Among all other inositol isomer forms, myo-inositol possesses biological activity. It is found in the brain, skeletal, heart, and main reproductive tissues and exists as a structural component of phosphatidylinositol in biological cell membranes. Myo-inositol, also act...
