Summary.
The presence of inositol in high concentrations in semen and the male reproductive organs of mammals suggests that it may have an important rôle in male reproduction. The present study is an attempt to investigate the effect of dietary protein restriction in the male rat on inositol synthesis in the testes and on the concentration of inositol in some of the accessory sex organs. The results show that marginal protein deficiency does not alter either the biosynthesis of inositol or inositol concentration in the testis, epididymis or seminal vesicles.
Reproduction is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
