Potency and efficacy of isoproterenol were different in the epididymal and in the prostatic portion of the rat vas deferens as well as between preparations obtained from normal or castrated animals. The epididymal portion exhibited alpha excitatory as well as beta inhibitory effects following isoproterenol; whereas the prostatic part reacted with an excitatory response to isoproterenol only in the castrated group. Phentolamine blocked the excitatory action and propranolol the inhibitory one. The variable differences to the alpha excitatory and beta inhibitory effects of isoproterenol between preparations from normal and castrated rats, could be due to a apecial postjunctional supersensitivity related to the lack of testosterone. © 1981 The Italian Pharmacological Society.
