The activity of some dehydrogenases and NADH and NADPH tetrazole reductases in the seminiferous epithelium of reserpinized white rats
Abstract
Investigations on the effect of reserpine on the histochemical reactions to some dehydrogenases (succinic, lactic, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase) as well as to NADH and NADPH tetrazole reductases in the seminiferous epithelium of white rats have been performed. A weakening of the dehydrogenase activities has been mainly observed in the young cells of seminal epithelium i, e. in spermatogone and spermatocytes. The changes in histoenzymatical reactions caused by reserpine may be the evidence of the inhibition of oxidation-reduction processes in the studied reproductive cells.
