TL;DR
Biological actions of extracts from the accessory genital glands have been described several times before, but the older observations have received no great attention, probably because the experimental data do not permit of definite conclusions as regards the nature and the specificity of the active constituents.

It is suggested that the vasodilator may help maintain local vasodILatation in accessory glands and ducts of the male genital tract and ensure an active gaseous exchange between the blood and various seminal secretions.

The main conclusions that Euler and Gaddum reached as to the properties of substance P have been confirmed, and it is readily dialysable, and soluble in absolute alcohol, but is rapidly destroyed by strong acid or alkali.
The Journal of PhysiologyAn adrenaline‐like action in extracts from the prostatic and related glands
56 Citations1934U. S. von Euler
The findings suggest that the genital organs involved in this study may be adrenaline-producing and the effect of time of rut sexual activity age and other factors upon the content and secretion of the adrenaline-like substance in the genital accessory glands may aid in the elucidation of these observation and some physiological phenomena with regard to the sexual functions.
