The specific activity of the lysosomal enzyme N-acetyl-beta-D-hexosaminidase was determined in the caput and cauda of the epididymis of rats as a function of age. The activity peaks at six weeks of age in both parts of the epididymis but is higher in the cauda. The results indicate a relationship between changes occurring in sperm in the epididymis and the lysosomal enzymes.
