“At 10 micrograms/ml, gossypol significantly inhibited hCG- and forskolin-stimulated progesterone secretion and intracellular cAMP formation; at 20 micrograms/ml, gossypol completely abolished the stimulative effect of hCG and forskolin.”
“It is postulated that the blockade of gonadotrophic effect of hCG may be the chief mechanism by which gossypol acetic acid interrupts early pregnancy in female rats.”
