A cutting of trial of the sacral nerves and the hypogastric nerve was performed on 23 adult male dogs. Qo2, Qco2 and activities of SDH and LDH of the prostate tissue was measured on the 7th or the 21th postoperative day. Results were summarized as follows;
1) Qo2, Qco2 and R. Q. usually decreased after the interruption of the innervation.
2) Activities of both SDH and LDH usually increased, while SDH/LDH always reduced because the increase in LDH was larger than that in SDH.
3) These tendencies were observed on the cutting off of the hypogastric nerve as well as the sacral nerves.
4) However, some quantitative or periodical patterns might be noticed specifically with the each section of the nerves.
