Cellulose acetate zymograms of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and sorbitol dehydrogenase (SDH) extracted from male reproductive tissues of inbred mice were examined. ADH isozymes were differentially distributed in these tissues of C3H/He mice; ADH-B2 was observed in all tissues and testis cellular preparations examined; ADH-C2 was localized predominantly in the epididymis but was also present in the seminal vesicles, coagulating gland, and prostate gland. SDH was broadly distributed in these tissues but exhibited highest activities in the seminal vesicles, coagulating glands, and germinal cells of mature testes. Genetic variants for ADH-C2 and SDH provided evidence for (1) the identity of a second form of SDH in epididymis with ADH-C2; (2) the genetic identity of kidney, seminal vesicle, and testis SDH; and (3) the gentic identity of stomach and epididymal ADH-C2. Developmental changes in testis and epididymal ADH isozymes during maturation were examined. ADH-C2 appeared in the mature epididymis whereas ADH-B2 exhibited no major changes in activity in testis and epididymis during development.

Cellulose acetate electrophoresis of rabbit seminal fluid give, after amidoschwartz staining, 19 protein bands, all migration towards the anode. Nine of them are present in at least 80% of the samples. With the acid of specific detection techniques, it was possible to demonstrate th presence of zinc in four bands, acid phosphatase activity in two and glycoprotein in three of the bands. Serum compounds seem to be present in small quantities. Study of fluids squeezed out from prostate, paraprostate, seminal vesicle and epididymal tail show few specific bands in these secretions: four in the case of prostate, three for paraprostate and one for seminal vesicle. Comparisons between human and rabbit seminal fluid electrophoresis show no relationship between these two types of secretion.
