  • Title: The 'in vivo' effects of oxytocin and vasopressin on spontaneous contractility of the rat epididymis.
    Author: Hib J.
    Journal: Int J Fertil; 1977; 22(1):63-4. PubMed ID: 18418.
    Abstract:
    The spontaneous contractility of the epididymis in the rat was recorded in vivo and the effects of the neurohypophyseal hormones were studied. Oxytocin (50 muU and 500 muU/100 g body weight) produced a progressive increase in tonus together with an increase in amplitude and frequency of the contractions. Vasopressin (100 muU and 1000 muU/100 g body weight) showed similar effects. No differences were apparent at the doses studied.
