Concentrations of glycerophosphocholine, phosphocholine and free inorganic phosphate in the luminal fluid of the rat testis and epididymis

Summary. Measurements were made on micropuncture samples of luminal fluids. The concentration of GPC was highest in the caput and corpus regions of the epididymis, that of phosphocholine changed little along the length of the rat epididymis and there was approximately a 3-fold increase of concentration of inorganic phosphate in the luminal fluid from caput epididymidis to ductus deferens. The estimated total phosphate appeared to equal that of the sum of the phosphate derived from the above compounds. The concentrations of these compounds in the luminal fluid of the testis and in blood plasma were very low.
