In the present observations the testicular
carbohydrates were elevated (+20.74 P<0.001) while in
accessories the epididymis shows elevation (+34.49
P<0.001) and seminal vesicle and prostate gland shows
reduction over control. Sexual cells can occur during the
reproductive phase, mitotic division of the spermatogonia
or during the maturation of the spermatozoa, thereby
affecting the number and quality of the sperm cells
produced in the testes. The accumulated testicular
carbohydrates may be due to an increase in the total free
