Structural Aspects

After proper description of reproductive functions of rodent anterior prostate, coagulating gland (CG), by Moore and Gallagher in 1930, numerous papers have been published on this gland and its function in male fertility. It has also been known that it has a local renin-angiotensin system (RAS). But, the actual function of this system is not very clear, and even now-a-days, this gland is getting ignored in reproductive physiology research. Thus, this review article attempts to unearth the reproductive functions of this gland, with a hypothetical mechanism of CG renin function. We have reviewed the available literature published on this gland and correlated the fragmented information to unveil its importance. We have proposed a hypothetical mechanism (aided by self-designed schemes) of CG renin function along with its functional and structural aspects in reproductive physiology. Despite being ignored in modern research, CG has a very significant function in rodent reproduction and breeding. It has also a very significant role in regulation of local homeostasis by renin-angiotensin-prostaglandin system.Key words:laboratory rat; mice; accessory sex organs; coagulating gland; renin

Radioactive myo-inositol was injected intraperitoneally into nephrectomized rats. The radioactive material present in liver, spleen, brain, heart, diaphragm, seminal vesicle, coagulating gland, prostate, epididymis, vas deferens and testis was shown to consist exclusively of myo-inositol and its derivatives, as shown by paper chromatography of hydrolysates and trichloroacetic acid extracts of these tissues. Radioactive myo-inositol was accumulated rapidly within 1 h by the thyroid, coagulating gland and seminal vesicle. Other tissues, such as the pituitary, prostate gland, liver and spleen, concentrated myo-inositol less actively. The muscle tissues studied (diaphragm and heart) concentrated little inositol, whereas brain, testis, and epididymal fat-pad did not concentrate it at all. The lipid fraction of liver contained most of the radio-labelled myo-inositol. In the other organs most of the radioactivity was found in the aqueous trichloroacetic acid extract, largely as free myo-inositol.

ABSTRACT Testosterone-1,2-3H with a specific activity of 46.5 c/mm was given intramuscularly to 3–4 months old, randomly selected rats, castrated 3 days before the injection. Radioactivity was measured in specimens from the ventral, dorsal and lateral prostatic lobes, and from the coagulating gland. A selective uptake of radioactivity relative to muscle tissue, was found in all parts of the prostate, with the same general pattern of incorporation. When correlated to wet weight, the maximum radioactivity was found in the lateral lobe. Eight hours after the injection the radioactivity in the lateral prostate was about 24 times higher than in muscle. The corresponding ratios for the ventral and dorsal lobes were 20:1 and 11:1, respectively. It is suggested that most of the radioactivity is localized within the cells, with minimal amounts of radioactivity in the secretory fluid.
