Vasectomy in langur monkeys (Presbytis entellus entellus dufresne).
The sex accessory gland functions were studied in 1-12 months vasectomized langur monkeys. Seminal plasma fructose did not change. Semen volume, magnesium, and citric acid decreased transitionally up to 6 months. A significant decrease in LDH and transaminases (GOT, GPT) following vasectomy indicated an altered secretory activity of the accessory sex organs.
