Crotalaria spectabilis Toxicity in Chickens.
SummaryConcentrations of 0.05% to 5% Crotalaria spectabilis seed were fed to chicks. All concentrations of the legume were shown to be toxic. Concentrations in excess of 0.3% produced death in all birds within 18 days. When less than 0.2% was fed there was a marked reduction in weight gain.

Pulmonary hypertension produced in rats by ingestion of Crotalaria spectabilis seeds [PDF]
The oral administration of Crotalaria spectabilis seeds to young rats induces pulmonary hypertension in them associated with right ventricular hypertrophy and an increase in the medial thickness of the pulmonary trunk and muscular pulmonary arteries. This appears to be the first direct demonstration that the oral administration of an agent may bring ...

Study of the Proteolytic Activity of the Tropical Legume Crotalaria spectabilis
The characterization of legume proteases contributes to the understanding of the physiology of plants and their interaction with the environment. Thirteen extracts from various parts of Crotalaria spectabilis were made using different extraction systems.

Intoxicação experimental por sementes de Crotalaria spectabilis (Leguminosae) em suínos [PDF]
Para estudar os efeitos da ingestão de sementes de Crotalaria spectabilis em suínos, 14 porcos foram divididos em 5 grupos; quatro (A-D) eram formados por 3 porcos e um (Grupo E) por dois porcos. Com exceção do grupo A, que serviu como controle, os porcos foram alimentados com ração contendo 0,3 e 0,5% (Grupos B e C) e 1% (Grupos D e E) de sementes ...

Experimental animal models of pulmonary hypertension: Development and challenges. [PDF]
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a severe, progressive vascular disorder characterized by elevation in pulmonary arterial pressure and pulmonary vascular resistance, finally leading to right heart failure and death. Different animal models have been designed to reflect the complex mechanistic origins and pathology of PH, roughly divided into 4 categories

Exploring Genetic Diversity: Optimizing Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) Markers in <i>Crotalaria</i> for Enhanced Precision in Biodiversity Research. [PDF]
Crotalaria is a plant genus with more than 700 species of shrubs and herbs. Despite its potential economic importance, Crotalaria has received limited research attention; hence, there is limited information on its genetic diversity. Hence, there is need to establish its genetic diversity as a foundation for its conservation and breeding.

Effects of season of fire on bee-flower interaction diversity in a fire-maintained pine savanna. [PDF]
Season of fire (winter, spring, summer, or fall) did not affect the total richness or abundance of bees over the entire sampling period. However, the richness of bee–flower interactions was significantly higher in spring and summer plots than in fall plots and there were compositional differences among treatments.

Development of pulmonary arterial changes in rats fed Crotalaria spectabilis. [PDF]
The early changes in pulmonary artery structure and the timing and development of right ventricular hypertrophy were examined in rats after ingestion of Crotalaria spectabilis; the arteries were distended with a Micropaque--gelatin mixture. The earliest change, detected at Day 3, is the appearance of new muscle in normally nonmuscular arteries ...
