Histochemical study of the effect of heat on the function of male reproductive organs of rats

Abstract

The literatures mentional that the male reproductive organs are under the effect of androgens which secreted from the testes ( Greenspan and Baxter 1994) .       

    To know the role of scrotum in decreasing of testicular temperature we used twenty mature male rate . The animals were randomly divided into two groups , ten animals each ( Control and treated ) . Both testes of the treated animals sutured to the abdominal wall while the control animals were shamly operated .After one month all animal were killed and the testes , prostate and seminal vesicle were removed and put in liquid nitrogen ( - 196c ) . frozen section made and stained according to the stander histochemical methods .            The results showed an increase in acid phosphatase  activity in the treated tissues compared with the control . Alkaline phosphatase enzyme activity were unstable , while the succinate dehydrogenase enzyme activity decreased markedly in the treated tissues compared with the control tissues .                       

    The present observation confirmed the role of androgen in regulation of male organs function .
