Secretory response of the epididymis to exogenously administered testosterone, estrogen and progesterone was investigated using the levels of sialic acid and glycerylphosphorylcholine as indices. Testosterone was found to be most potent in stimulating the (GPC) secretory function of the organ. An enigmatic finding of the present study was that while estrogen showed the ability to stimulate both sialic acid and GPC levels, progesterone exerted its influence only on sialic acid. Studies on the accessory genital organs (weight of seminal vesicles and ventral prostate and fructose level of coagulating gland) also revealed a stimulatory effect of the steroids.
以唾液酸和甘油磷酸胆碱水平为指标，研究了附睾对外源性给予的睾酮、雌激素和孕酮的分泌反应。发现睾酮在刺激该器官的甘油磷酸胆碱（GPC）分泌功能方面最为有效。本研究一个令人费解的发现是，虽然雌激素显示出刺激唾液酸和GPC水平的能力，但孕酮仅对唾液酸产生影响。对附属生殖器官（精囊和腹侧前列腺的重量以及凝固腺的果糖水平）的研究也揭示了这些类固醇的刺激作用。
