Intoxication by Cyanide in Pregnant Sows: Prenatal and Postnatal Evaluation

Journal of Toxicology, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
Cyanide is a ubiquitous chemical in the environment and has been associated with many intoxication episodes; however, little is known about its potentially toxic effects on development. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of maternal exposure to potassium cyanide (KCN) during pregnancy on both sows and their offspring.

Grappling the High Altitude for Safe Edible Bamboo Shoots with Rich Nutritional Attributes and Escaping Cyanogenic Toxicity

BioMed Research International, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
Consumption of bamboo species with high level of total cyanogenic content (TCC) in Asia by many ethnic groups is significantly associated with food poisoning and occasionally Konzo (a neurological disorder). Adequate characterization of edible bamboo species with low level of TCC and high nutritious attributes is required for consumer’s safety as well ...

Assessing genetic variation, genotype‐environment interactions, and genomic prediction for cassava garri quality

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 3, May/June 2025.
Abstract In this study, we assessed the genetic and genotype by environment interaction variation and genomic prediction of the garri quality traits of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz). The study was conducted in the National Root Crop Research Institute experimental sites in Umudike and Otobi, Nigeria, in two planting seasons of 2021 and 2022.

Potential Toxic Levels of Cyanide in Almonds (Prunus amygdalus), Apricot Kernels (Prunus armeniaca), and Almond Syrup

International Scholarly Research Notices, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
Under normal environmental conditions, many plants synthesize cyanogenic glycosides, which are able to release hydrogen cyanide upon hydrolysis. Each year, there are frequent livestock and occasional human victims of cyanogenic plants consumption. The present work aims to determine the hydrocyanic acid content in different samples of cyanogenic plants,

Nutritional Approach to Ameliorate Demyelinating Changes Expressed in Spinal Olig2 Immunoreactivity in a Konzo Disease Rat Model

SAR Journal of Psychiatry and Neuroscience
A nutritional approach to ameliorate demyelinating changes expressed in spinal Olig2 immunoreactivity in a Konzo disease rat model was investigated. 30 adult female Wistar rats weighing 200-250g were assigned to 4 groups.

Analysis of crop suitability index for current and future climates using statistically downscaled CMIP6 outputs over Africa

Meteorological Applications, Volume 32, Issue 1, January/February 2025.
A figure illustrating the projected changes in the crop suitability index (CSI) for selected crops across various climatic sub‐regions in Africa under the Shared Socioeconomic Pathway (SSP) 5–8.5 climate projection. These changes are calculated for the period 2021–2050 relative to the baseline period (1981–2010), with asterisks (*) indicating ...
