Abstract
The effects of VIP on testicular tissue histamine level of stressed (i mmobilization and cold) rats were investigated. Sixteen Sprague-Dawley adult male rats were used and divided into three groups. Testicular t issue histamine was measured by HPLC. Stress caused a significant incr ease in the testicular tissue histamine level. VIP treatment decreased histamine to baseline.
