Sites of Production of Fructose and Citric Acid in the Accessory Reproductive Glands of Three Species of Male Chiropterans

SITARAMAIAH MOKKAPATI 1, and C. J. DOMINIC 1

The prostate of the three species investigated secrete both fructose and citric acid, the latter in greater amounts than the former. The seminal vesicles of Cynopterus sphinx and Tapbozous Longiinanus produce both fructose and citric acid; however, citric acid is more abundantly secreted than fructose. The ampullary glands of Scotophilus beathi secrete only fructose, while those of T. longimanus produce both fructose and citric acid.
