In the human male reproductive tract NO synthase activity was high, with the highest activity in the seminal vesicle, prostate and vas deferens. NADPH-diaphorase staining showed a prominent staining of the secretory cells in the vas deferens, seminal vesicle, prostate and urethra but also in the testis and epididymis of man and guinea-pig. NO synthase activity in the secretory epithelium of the guinea-pig seminal vesicle was 6 times higher than in the muscle coat, suggesting that the major part of the NO synthase activity is localized in the secretory cells.
