1. We studied the ultrastructure of epididymal spermatozoa viviparous skinks, Mabuya multifasciata and Sphenomorphus indicus.

2. Compared to other epididymal epithelial cells, Apical cells display a spherical nucleus that is located at the Apical pole of the epithelium.

3. Testicular and epididymal Appendages are remnants of embryonic ducts and are quite common, with one or more being present in ~70% of patients 1.

4. In a separate experiment, involving the adaptive response to endurance exercise, adipocytes from epididymal, inguinal, and retroperitoneal depots were reduced in size (P < 0.001) to approximately the same degree.

5. Abietic acid also inhibited the protein expression of sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1c, CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein α, and CD36 in epididymal adipose tissues, which are up-regulated by HFDs

6. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relative involvement of the adrenal medulla and of the sympathetic nervous system on regional differences in the adrenergic control of lipolysis in isolated adipocytes from inguinal and epididymal adipose tissues.

7. In vitro, i. e. upon incubation with epididymal adipose tissue of rats, the lipolytic effect of norepinephrine was inhibited by both α- and β-adrenolytics. To obtain 50% inhibition of a standard dose of norepinephrine (6×10−7 M), however, more than 100 times higher concentrations of the α-adrenolytics phentolamine or phenoxybenzamine were required as compared to the β-adrenolytics Kö 592 or propranolol.
