Maitotoxin‐activated single calcium channels in guinea‐pig cardiac cells [PDF]
1. In order to clarify the mechanism of Ca-dependent excitatory action of maitotoxin (MTX), the most potent marine toxin known, patch-clamp techniques were used to analyse electrophysiological effects of MTX on guinea-pig isolated cardiac myocytes. 2. The whole-cell recordings showed that MTX (0.3 ng ml-1) produced a sustained inward current that was ...

Canary Islands (NE Atlantic) as a biodiversity "hotspot" of Gambierdiscus: Implications for future trends of ciguatera in the area [PDF]
In the present study the geographical distribution, abundance and composition of Gambierdiscus was described over a 600 km longitudinal scale in the Canary Islands. Samples for cell counts, isolation and identification of Gambierdiscus were obtained from

A Review on the Biodiversity and Biogeography of Toxigenic Benthic Marine Dinoflagellates of the Coasts of Latin America [PDF]
Many benthic dinoflagellates are known or suspected producers of lipophilic polyether phycotoxins, particularly in tropical and subtropical coastal zones. These toxins are responsible for diverse intoxication events of marine fauna and human consumers of
