Effects of autonomic drugs on intraluminal pressure and excretion of rat seminal vesicles in vivo.
The effects of intravenously administered autonomic drugs on the intraluminal pressure and the excretion volume of the seminal vesicles in rats were studied. Both alpha 1-adrenergic and cholinergic stimulants produced a rapid increase in pressure and fluid excretion. alpha 1-Adrenergic stimulants elicited a sharp and single increase in pressure, while cholinergic stimulants caused a sharp increase with multiple peaks.
