pubmed:abstractText
Short-term vasectomy was studied in adult male rats in order to ascertain whether cytosolic or lysosomal hydrolases were differently affected 100 days after vas ligation. The secretory form of alpha-1,4-glucosidase remained unchanged while the lysosomal form of the enzyme and also cathepsin D increased in the cytosol of both caput and cauda epididymis. This set of data demonstrates for the first time that a triggering mechanism which stimulates lysosomal activity is present all along the rat epididymis. Disposal of the continuous influx of spermatozoa from the testis could therefore require both an active and a passive process.
