Abstract
The effect of chemical sympathectomy with 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) on the ventral prostate of the rat was studied. A dose of 50 mg/kg i.v., which was repeated after 1 week, was effective enough to produce total disappearance of sympathetic nerves. Reappearance of nerve fibres was evident 2 weeks after treatment. Dilation of prostatic alveoli was noted 1 week after denervation. It is concluded that the absence of normal sympathetic innervation prevents the emptying of the rat prostate.Entities:
