Abstract

The liquefaction of freshly ejaculated human semen was delayed by gosssypol. Liquefaction is normally accompanied by an autolytic degradation of semen proteins, and prior incubation with gossypol can inhibit factors (presumably proteinases) present in seminal plasma that degrade semen proteins. The possible consequences of this inhibition are discussed in relation to the proposed use of gossypol as a vaginal contraceptive. Copyright © 1985, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved
