Oxidative Stress Parameters and Morphological Changes in Japanese Medaka (Oryzias latipes) after Acute Exposure to OA-Group Toxins [PDF]
Toxins of the OA-group (okadaic acid, OA; dinophysistoxin-1, DTX-1) are the most prevalent in the fjords of southern Chile, and are characterized by their potential harmful effects on aquatic organisms.

DSP Toxin Distribution across Organs in Mice after Acute Oral Administration [PDF]
Okadaic acid (OA) and its main structural analogs dinophysistoxin-1 (DTX1) and dinophysistoxin-2 (DTX2) are marine lipophilic phycotoxins distributed worldwide that can be accumulated by edible shellfish and can cause diarrheic shellfish poisoning (DSP).

Okadaic Acid Is at Least as Toxic as Dinophysistoxin-1 after Repeated Administration to Mice by Gavage [PDF]
Okadaic acid (OA) and its analogues cause diarrhetic shellfish poisoning (DSP) in humans, and risk assessments of these toxins require toxicity equivalency factors (TEFs), which represent the relative toxicities of analogues.

Differences in Toxic Response Induced by Three Variants of the Diarrheic Shellfish Poisoning Phycotoxins in Human Intestinal Epithelial Caco-2 Cells [PDF]
Diarrheic shellfish poisoning (DSP) is caused by the consumption of shellfish contaminated with a group of phycotoxins that includes okadaic acid (OA), dinophysistoxin-1 (DTX-1), and dinophysistoxin-2 (DTX-2).

Effects of Dinoflagellate Toxins Okadaic Acid and Dinophysistoxin-1 and -2 on the Microcrustacean Artemia franciscana [PDF]
Harmful algal blooms are an expanding phenomenon negatively impacting human health, socio-economic welfare, and ecosystems. Such events increase the risk of marine organisms’ exposure to algal toxins with consequent ecological effects. In this frame, the

Dissolved Algal Toxins along the Southern Coast of British Columbia Canada [PDF]
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) in coastal British Columbia (BC), Canada, negatively impact the salmon aquaculture industry. One disease of interest to salmon aquaculture is Net Pen Liver Disease (NPLD), which induces severe liver damage and is believed to ...

Excretion Routes of Okadaic Acid and Dinophysistoxin-2 from Mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) and Cockles (Cerastoderma edule) [PDF]
The knowledge of the routes of excretion of the toxins accumulated by molluscs is a key step in designing methods that accelerate depuration. In this work, the excretion route, in mussels and cockles, of the main diarrhetic shellfish poisoning (DSP ...
