Female mice were allowed to mate with males which had been sham-operated (Group 1); had seminal vesicles, coagulating glands and ventral and dorsal prostate glands removed (Group 2); had the seminal vesicles removed (Group 3); had the coagulating glands removed (Group 4) or had the ventral and dorsal prostate gland removed (Group 5). The pregnancy rate was normal in Groups 1 and 4, severely reduced in Groups 2 and 3 and less so in Group 5. Litter size was reduced in Groups 2 and 3 but not in Group 5. It is suggested that the seminal vesicles and possibly the prostate glands are important in the production of young in mice.
雌性小鼠与接受过假手术的雄性小鼠交配（第1组）；已切除精囊、凝固腺以及腹侧和背侧前列腺的雄性小鼠（第2组）；已切除精囊的雄性小鼠（第3组）；已切除凝固腺的雄性小鼠（第4组）；或已切除腹侧和背侧前列腺的雄性小鼠（第5组）。第1组和第4组的怀孕率正常，第2组和第3组的怀孕率严重降低，第5组的怀孕率降低程度较小。第2组和第3组的窝仔数减少，但第5组未减少。研究表明，精囊以及可能还有前列腺对小鼠产仔很重要。
