The actions of neurotropins are not restricted to the nervous system. Immunohistochemical methods were used in the present study to clarify distribution of nerve growth factor (NGF) and its receptors TrkA and p75LNGFR in excurrent ducts of the adult male Japanese monkey (Macaca fuscata fuscata). NGF was found in the seminal vesicle, epididymis, and testis, and has been thought to affect male reproductive functions. Leydig cells, Sertoli cells, and spermatogonia at various stages were positively stained for NGF, as well as for TrkA and p75LNGFR. Signals for these proteins were also found in epithelial cells and stromal tissues of the caudal epididymidis, as well as in the seminal vesicle. In the prostate, smooth muscle cells and basal cells were positively stained for NGF, TrkA, and p75 LNGFR. The results were comparatively discussed.
