Disease relevance of Seminal Vesicles

 

Psychiatry related information on Seminal Vesicles

  • We measured the following: weight at birth and over a 5-mo period; sexual behavior of adult males; curiosity; basal physical activity; morphometric measures; organ weights (absolute and relative) including brain, testicles and seminal vesicles in males 5 mo of age; and the O2 uptake of some brain and glandular structures in males at 5 mo of age [6].
  • Androgenic status and libido as assessed by seminal fructose, seminal vesicle weight, seminal fructose and reaction time were not affected by the disease [7].

Associations of Seminal Vesicles with chemical compounds

  • Animals fed a diet with ethanol accounting for 36% of total calories develop significant testicular, prostatic, and seminal vesicle atrophy (P less than 0.01) and greatly reduced plasma testosterone levels (P less than 0.01) [27].
  • Ventral prostate and seminal vesicle weights were less in cimetidine-treated castrate adult male rats androgenized with testosterone-filled subcutaneous silastic capsules than in vehicle-injected controls [28].
  • Rat seminal vesicles serve as a model system for studying androgen action [29].
  • Staining of the cells with a peroxidase-conjugated antibody and analysis of the proteins produced in the presence of labelled methionine, showed that one of the major rat seminal vesicle secretory proteins, namely RSV-IV, was also produced [30].
  • Docosahexaenoic acid (DCHA), a major polyunsaturated acid component of fish lipid, is not a substrate for prostaglandin synthetase from ram seminal vesicles but is a strong competitive inhibitor (Ki, 0.36 microM) of the conversion by this enzyme of arachidonate (Km, 5.9 microM) to prostaglandins [31].
 

Gene context of Seminal Vesicles

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Seminal Vesicles

  • Therefore, the optimal candidate for local-only salvage therapy is a man whose pretreatment PSA velocity was 2 ng/mL/year or less, interval to PSA failure exceeds 3 years, and post-treatment PSA doubling time is at least 12 months, and who did not have biopsy or prostatectomy Gleason score of 8 to 10 or seminal vesicle or lymph node involvement [37].
  • Multivariate analysis, which was limited to 70 patients receiving radiation without androgen deprivation therapy, showed that negative/close margins (P =.03), absence of extracapsular extension (P <.01), and presence of seminal vesicle invasion (P <.01) were independent predictors of PSA relapse after radiotherapy [38].
  • Antiangiogenic treatment with linomide as chemoprevention for prostate, seminal vesicle, and breast carcinogenesis in rodents [39].
  • Significant variables in the multivariable model included PSA (P = .002), primary (P < .0001) and secondary Gleason grade (P = .0006), extracapsular extension (P < .0001), positive surgical margins (P = .028), seminal vesicle invasion (P < .0001), lymph node involvement (P = .030), treatment year (P = .008), and adjuvant radiotherapy (P = .046) [40].
  • The size of androgen receptors from rat ventral and dorsal prostate, dorsal prostate (Dunning) tumor, testis, epididymis, and seminal vesicle was determined using Sephadex G-200 chromatogrpahy and sucrose gradient centrifugation [41].
