Effect of bilateral vasectomy on testicular metabolism in albino rats. Indian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology. 1983 Jan-Mar; 27(1): 7-12http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/107718The adult Wistar strain albino rats were vasectomised by conventional method and maintained for six months. The vasectomized rat testis had elevated water content with depleted dry matter. Glycogen content was increased with indication of mobilization of hexoses into HMP pathway. The vasectomized rat testis showed preferential utilisation of triglycerides. In view of increased 3 beta-HSD and 17 beta-HSD activities, accelerated androgenesis was envisaged in vasectomized rat testis.engAnimalsCholesterol --bloodFatty Acids, Nonesterified --bloodGlycerol --bloodHydroxysteroid Dehydrogenases --metabolismLipids --bloodMalePhospholipids --bloodRatsRats, Inbred StrainsTestis --metabolismTriglycerides --bloodVasectomyJournal Article
