Intraluminal fluids from the hamster seminiferous tubules and cauda, corpus, and caput epididymidis were obtained in vivo using micropuncture techniques. The effect of vasectomy on the osmolarity of these fluids was studied two weeks and four months postvasectomy. There was an overall decrease in the osmolarity of reproductive fluids at two weeks postvasectomy that was not apparent at four months postvasectomy.

     Key words: testis, epididymis, vasectomy, osmolarity, hamster
