gossypol and Hypokalemia

gossypol has been researched along with Hypokalemia in 25 studies

Gossypol: A dimeric sesquiterpene found in cottonseed (GOSSYPIUM). The (-) isomer is active as a male contraceptive (CONTRACEPTIVE AGENTS, MALE) whereas toxic symptoms are associated with the (+) isomer.

Hypokalemia: Abnormally low potassium concentration in the blood. It may result from potassium loss by renal secretion or by the gastrointestinal route, as by vomiting or diarrhea. It may be manifested clinically by neuromuscular disorders ranging from weakness to paralysis, by electrocardiographic abnormalities (depression of the T wave and elevation of the U wave), by renal disease, and by gastrointestinal disorders. (Dorland, 27th ed)

( Xue, S, 2000)
" Experiments conducted on Sprague-Dawley rats and cynomolgous monkeys confirm that either (-) or (+) gossypol is too toxic to be developed for human contraception."2.40Gossypol: reasons for its failure to be accepted as a safe, reversible male antifertility drug. ( Griffin, PD; Waites, GM; Wang, C, 1998)
"Gossypol is a yellowish phenolic compound ocurring naturally in certain species of cotton plants of the family Malvaciae, mostly in the seeds and root bark."2.37Gossypol: a potential antifertility agent for males. ( Qian, SZ; Wang, ZG, 1984)
