Abstract
The epididymis [of Mesocricetus auratus] was ligated at the efferent ductules and at the middle segment. Histochemical changes occurred only proximal to the ligature. Orchidectomy caused progressive changes, mostly reversible by testosterone treatment, throughout the epididymis. The integrity of the initial segment is apparently dependent upon androgen reaching it via the testicular fluid.
