Gossypol is a chemical present in the seeds of cotton plants (Gossypium sp.) that reduces fertility in farm animals. Vitamin E is an antioxidant and may help to protect cells and tissues against the deleterious effects of ...

The safety and efficacy of gossypol continues to be controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate gossypol as a contraceptive pill for men at doses lower than those previously prescribed and in men from various ...

The role of different gossypol tautomers in the interaction of this molecule with membranes has been investigated using the isolated hemiacetal moiety of gossypol and the pH dependency of the keto-enol tautomeric equilibrium. ...

Previous work in our laboratory revealed that the pubertal period of reproductive development in the male rat was particularly vulnerable to gossypol exposure, with a higher frequency of round structures in the lumen of ...

Plants can have detrimental effects on biological control agents by affecting their prey or host quality. Thus, it is important to understand the tri-trophic interactions between plants, herbivores and natural enemies when ...

Rat spermatogenic cells have glycolytic rates of 124 ± 36 nmol lactate · mg protein -1 · h-1. Maximum glycolytic rates in the absence of oxidative phosphorylation do not exceed the basal rates by>40%. From the rates of ...
