Abstract

Gossypol acetic acid (4 mg/day/5 days a week) suspended in Tonoferon tonic was given to male bonnet monkeys, Macaca radiata, by oral route for 3 months. Marked reduction in the sperm count/ejaculate and sperm motility were observed after gossypol treatment; both motility and sperm count/ejaculate returned to the normal level 8-10 weeks after termination of gossypol treatment. The citric acid and fructose levels in the semen of gossypol treated monkeys were not different from those of the controls.
