  1. 01LabEx vivo tissueActivity measurement

    In isolated bovine epididymal duct, oxytocin induced contraction in intact and epithelium-denuded caput and in epithelium-denuded corpus segments.

    In plain wordsIn isolated bovine epididymal tissue, oxytocin made the muscle of the caput, and of the corpus without its lining, contract.

    Summary · context
    This study deals with the ejaculation-relevant factors noradrenaline (NA) and oxytocin (OT) and their contractile effects in the course of the bovine epididymal duct.
  2. 02LabEx vivo tissueActivity measurement

    In isolated bovine epididymal duct, oxytocin had a relaxant net effect in intact corpus and proximal cauda segments.

    In plain wordsIn isolated bovine epididymal tissue, oxytocin relaxed the intact corpus and the first part of the cauda.

  3. 03LabEx vivo tissueActivity measurement

    In isolated bovine mid-cauda epididymal duct, oxytocin evoked strong contraction that progressively decreased distally.

    In plain wordsIn isolated bovine epididymal tissue, oxytocin caused strong contraction in the mid-cauda, weaker further along the duct.
