TI  - Ion transporters for fluid reabsorption in the rooster (Gallus domesticus) 
      epididymal region.

AB  - Testicular fluid is highly condensed during its passage through the epididymal 
      region in the avian species. In the present study, major ion transporters that 
      are responsible for condensation mainly by water resorption in the reproductive 
      tract as identified in the mammalian epididymis were localized within the rooster 
      (Gallus domesticus) epididymis by immunohistochemistry. The results show that the 
      efferent ductule epithelium expressed sodium-potassium ATPase 
      (Na(+),K(+)-ATPase), carbonic anhydrase II (CAII) and sodium hydrogen exchanger 
      isoform 3 (NHE3) and that the connecting ductule and epididymal duct epithelia 
      expressed Na(+),K(+)-ATPase and CAII. These data suggest that a model proposed 
      for reabsorption in mammalian efferent ductules can be applied to avian efferent 
      ductules.
