Abstract
Summary A study of the biochemical composition of rat testis fluid showed higher values for total protein, lactic dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, acid phosphatase, carbonic anhydrase, glycogen, lactic acid, ascorbic acid, sodium, potassium, chloride and bicarbonate than those of serum. Particularly noteworthy in this respect were glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, acid phosphatase and carbonic anhydrase which could not be detected in serum; glycogen, lactic acid and ascorbic acid occurred in much higher concentration than in serum. Values lower than those of serum were recorded for glucose, sialic acid, lipid constituents, calcium and zinc.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
