Gene expression studies for the analysis of domoic acid production in the marine diatom Pseudo-nitzschia multiseries [PDF]
Background: Pseudo-nitzschia multiseries Hasle (Hasle) (Ps-n) is distinctive among the ecologically important marine diatoms because it produces the neurotoxin domoic acid.

The excitatory amino acid domoic acid is the causative agent of amnesic shellfish poisoning in humans. The in vitro effects of domoic acid on rat neonatal brain microglia were compared with E. coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a known activator of microglia

Dried blood spots in toxicology : from the cradle to the grave? [PDF]
About a century after its first described application by Ivar Bang, the potential of sampling via dried blood spots (DBS) as an alternative for classical venous blood sampling is increasingly recognized.

Proteomic Analysis of Plasma from California Sea Lions (Zalophus californianus) Reveals Apolipoprotein E as a Candidate Biomarker of Chronic Domoic Acid Toxicosis. [PDF]
Domoic acid toxicosis (DAT) in California sea lions (Zalophus californianus) is caused by exposure to the marine biotoxin domoic acid and has been linked to massive stranding events and mortality.

Domoic Acid Impairment of Cardiac Energetics [PDF]
Excitatory mediated neuronal injury has been shown to involve a complex cascade of events. However, the associated cardiac damage reported in humans and marine animals following exposure to excitotoxins has not been well characterized. We hypothesized that the excitotoxin domoic acid can traverse cardiac cell membranes and elicit a deleterious effect ...

Domoic acid as a developmental neurotoxin [PDF]
Domoic acid (DomA) is an excitatory amino acid which can accumulate in shellfish and finfish under certain environmental conditions. DomA is a potent neurotoxin. In humans and in non-human primates, oral exposure to a few mg/kg DomA elicits gastrointestinal effects, while slightly higher doses cause neurological symptoms, seizures, memory impairment ...

Neurological Disease Rises from Ocean to Bring Model for Human Epilepsy to Life
Domoic acid of macroalgal origin was used for traditional and medicinal purposes in Japan and largely forgotten until its rediscovery in diatoms that poisoned 107 people after consumption of contaminated mussels.
