Abstract
Sera from chickens that consumed a known level of (−)-gossypol (−)-GP) exhibited bioactivity against human breast cancer cells in vitro. Based on this, it is conceivable that similar anti-breast cancer activities of different magnitudes will be exhibited in biological samples harvested from (−)-GP-fed layer hens. The experimental data generated in this study may influence the fundamental thinking regarding the utilization of low cost agricultural commodities such as (−)-GP cottonseed meal to produce value-added chemopreventive animal products.
