Deposition pattern of the antifertility agent, gossypol, in selected organs of male rats. 1982

D R Jensen, and J N Tone, and R H Sorensen, and S A Bozek

Male rats received daily, oral doses of gossypol-acetate (40 mg/kg body wt) for 2, 4, or 8 weeks to determine patterns of gossypol deposition in the spleen, liver, heart, kidneys, lungs, and testes during establishment of a gossypol-induced infertility. Infertility was exhibited at the end of the 4-week dosing period. Free and bound gossypol accumulated in all of the organs.
