Effect of castration on the VIPergic innervation and 125I-labelled vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) binding sites in the hamster seminal vesicle a quantitative immunohistochemical and receptor autoradiographic study

In the present work we have investigated the effects of medium-(15 days) and long-term (2 months) castration on vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)-immunoreactive nerve fibres and 125I-labelled VIP binding sites in the adult hamster seminal vesicle. The density of VIP- and synaptophysin (general neu...

description In the present work we have investigated the effects of medium-(15 days) and long-term (2 months) castration on vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)-immunoreactive nerve fibres and 125I-labelled VIP binding sites in the adult hamster seminal vesicle. The density of VIP- and synaptophysin (general neuronal marker)-containing nerve fibres was determined in immunofluorescently stained cryostat sections using a computerised image analysis system. The morphological analysis of 125I-VIP binding sites in seminal vesicle cryostat sections was performed by quantitative receptor autoradiography. Our results show that the densities of the overall (synaptophysin immunoreactive) and VIPergic innervation increase in both medium and long-term castrated animals. In absolute terms, the quantity of VIP- and synaptophysin- containing nerves is not altered in medium-term castrates, but decreases for synaptophysin in long-term castrates. Medium-term castration does not affect the density of 125I-VIP binding sites in the gland muscular coat, but a significant decrease is observed after long-term castration. In conclusion, our results indicate that whereas VIP nerves are apparently unaffected by castration. 125I-VIP binding sites in the muscular coat of hamster seminal vesicle are sensitive to androgen levels.
