Effects of cyproterone acetate on spontaneous contractility of the rat epididymis.
The spontaneous contractility of the rat epididymis was recorded in vivo and the effects of cyproterone acetate were studied. At 7 days after cyproterone acetate daily administration the records of the epididymal contractility did not show significant differences from the records obtained in control animals. On the contrary, in animals injected during 11 days the amplitude and frequency of epididymal contractions showed a significant decrease, and this activity completely ceased at 14 days of treatment.
