Male accessory gland inflammation may interfere with the reproductive potential and can result in the glands secretory dysfunction. Asymptomatic inflammations are difficult to diagnose. This study correlates the white blood cell count in semen to different biochemical markers of accessory gland function, e.

Various concentrations of fenaridin increased the cAMP content, whereas that of cGMP was not altered. At the same time, administration of the antagonist of narcotic analgetics F1 led to an increase in content of cGMP and to a distinct elevation of cAMP content.

Injection of prostaglandin E2 first causes a diminution and then an increase in the serotonin content of mast cells. Prostaglandin F2 alpha produces a lowering of the serotonin content of mast cells.

This circumstance is related to a great extent to the release of biogenic amines, histamine and serotonine, from mast cells of the "microregion" and to the diminution of the amount of tissue eosinophils, an antihistamine link in the permeability control. Application of sodium thiosulfate improved vascular permeability, normalized the content of biogenic amines in mast cells and preserved the amount of eosinophils in the mesentery because of the protective effect of the drug on the pancreas.

The content of heparin in the blood and mast cell count in rat tissues were studied during different periods of experimental extrahepatic cholestasis induced in rats by ligation of the common bile duct. During cholestasis the blood heparin level proved to increase and the mast cell count fell on the 3rd day, increased on the 7th day and fell again on the 14th day. Correlation between the degranulated and nondegranulated forms of mast cells altered in favour of the latter.
