Estrogen and accessory sex gland lipids.
Administration of estradiol-17 beta elicited differential responses on accessory sex glands of rats. In caput epididymis, the estrogen treatment led to an accumulation of glycerides and phospholipids while in cauda epididymis, there was no significant change. However, in seminal vesicles, depletion of phospholipids was observed. In prostate, the treatment, resulted in an accumulation of glycerides.
