Abstract
5-Thio-D-glucose completely inhibited o-diphenoloxidase from animal as well as plant sources. It has been reported that thioglucose suppresses spermatogenesis in mice and also insect metamorphosis, probably through inhibition of glucose transport. Inhibition of o-diphenoloxidase (which is active in spermatozoa and insect larvae) is suggested as an alternative mechanism of action of thioglucose.Entities:
