Effect of oxytocin on the concentration of fructose in the accessory glands of mouse.
Studies available in the literature indicate that oxytocin could alter the circulating levels of testosterone and glucose, the prime determinants of fructose synthesis in the male accessory glands. This study was planned to find out if oxytocin could affect the concentration of fructose in the seminal vesicles (SV) and coagulating glands (CG) of mouse. The results show that oxytocin reduces fructose concentration in the SV and CG (SVCG) without altering circulating levels of either glucose or testosterone in the mouse.
