Abstract
The effects of castration and treatment with the antiandrogen cyproterone acetate (CPA) on the responses of the vas deferens of the rat induced by phenylephrine, KCl and BaCl2 has been studied.Both castration and CPA induced a spontaneous motility in the rat vas deferens.Castration produces a decrease of the response amplitude induced by phenylephrine and KCl and an increase of those induced by BaCl2 in animals killed 30 days after castration.CPA increases the response amplitude induced by phenylephrine and KCl without modifying those induced by BaCl2.These results suggest that the antiandrogen CPA produces modifications qualitatively different from castration.
