Effects of Ablation of the Submaxillary Gland in Guinea Pigs

IV. Cause of deterioration of the tubules in the testes

抄録

1. The nature of submaxillary glands and the cause of deterioration of the tubules in the testis of guinea pigs were studied.
2. The cause of deterioration in the testis may be due to the clotting in the intercellular substances of the germinal epithelium as a result of the submaxillariectomy.
3. The atrophic change of germ cells in the testis of the submaxillariectomized males may be due to the deterioration of intercellular substances in the germinal epithelium.
4. The secretion of submaxillary gland in the male guinea pigs seems to contain the anti-coagulate enzyme for the intercellular substances of germinal epithelium.
