Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.Summary Background The diagnosis and management of pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID) in horses includes evaluating abnormal plasma concentrations of adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH). Treatment commonly includes the oral dopamine agonist pergolide mesylate, which suppresses the pathologic overproduction of ACTH.

Toxins, 2020 Ergot caused by Claviceps purpurea is a problem for food and feed security in rye due to the occurrence of toxic ergot alkaloids (EAs). For grain elevators and breeders, a quick, easy-to-handle, and cheap screening assay would have a high economic impact.

Aptamer-based extraction of ergot alkaloids from ergot contaminated rye feed [PDF]
, 2014 Ergot alkaloids are mycotoxins which can be found in food based on cereal-crops, due to a contamination of plants by fungi of the genus Claviceps. The ingestion of ergot contaminated cereal crops can lead to a severe poisoning known as ergotism. For food

Deciphering Role of Endophytes in Plant Defences and Biotic Stress Resilience Across Families
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Plant families generate distinct repertoires of specialised metabolites that govern their biotic interactions. Endophytes strengthen host plant defence mechanisms and tolerance to biotic challenges by upregulating metabolite biosynthesis, modifying precursor compounds into more potent forms, or by directly synthesising analogous defence ...

Endophyte Infected Tall Fescue: Plant Symbiosis to Animal Toxicosis
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021 Endophyte-infected fescue is a major cool season forage used for livestock production in the United States and through other areas of the world. A unique aspect of this forage resource is the symbiotic relationship with an endophytic fungus (Epichloë ...

Plants synthesize ergothioneine, showing a link to abiotic stress
Plant Biology, EarlyView.Various plants possess ergothioneine biosynthetic genes and can synthesize this antioxidant, where increased EGT levels under abiotic stress conditions indicate protective functions. Abstract Ergothioneine (EGT) is a sulphur‐containing histidine derivative and a potent antioxidant that exhibits beneficial effects on human health.

Effect of Ergot-Contaminated Barley on GrowingFinishing Pig Performance [PDF]
, 1998 Barley samples from Allamakee County were used in a swine feeding study. Pigs fed a barley-corn and soybean meal (SBM) diets containing up to 0.18% ergot (1.62 ppm ergot alkaloids) performed similarly to pigs fed a basal corn-SBM diet.
