The role of mesencephalic reticular formation on testicular structure, seminal vesicles, adrenal glands and kidneys of albino rats was investigated. Mesencephalic reticular formation lesions were produced using two epoxy-coated stainless steel electrodes. Electrolytic lesions resulted in atrophy of the testes, seminal vesicles and adrenal glands. The degree of atrophy was statistically significant in these organs (P < 0.01). However, there were no significant changes in the kidneys of lesioned animals. This study strongly suggests that the mesencephalic reticular formation influences the histomorphology of testes, seminal vesicles and adrenal glands.
研究了中脑网状结构对白化大鼠睾丸结构、精囊、肾上腺和肾脏的作用。使用两个环氧涂层不锈钢电极造成中脑网状结构损伤。电解损伤导致睾丸、精囊和肾上腺萎缩。这些器官的萎缩程度具有统计学意义（P < 0.01）。然而，损伤动物的肾脏没有显著变化。这项研究强烈表明，中脑网状结构影响睾丸、精囊和肾上腺的组织形态学。
