British Medical Bulletin, 2000 Seafood products are important both nutritionally and economically. Within Europe, some 12 billion Pounds of fishery products are consumed annually and an enormous variety of species are available. Although seafood is rarely implicated in food poisoning, compared to other food sources, it does provide some specific human health hazards unique to this ...

Biosynthesis of marine toxins [PDF]
Current Opinion in Chemical Biology, 2020 Throughout history, humans have encountered natural toxic chemicals from the ocean environment, often through contaminated seafood. Although marine toxins can be harmful to human health and devastate local environments when they are produced during algal bloom events, they are also important biochemical research reagents and drug leads in medicine.

Alzheimer’s Disease and Toxins Produced by Marine Dinoflagellates: An Issue to Explore
Marine Drugs, 2022 This paper examined the toxins naturally produced by marine dinoflagellates and their effects on increases in β-amyloid plaques along with tau protein hyperphosphorylation, both major drivers of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). This approach is in line with the

Historical Perspective of the Characterization of Conotoxins Targeting Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels
Marine Drugs, 2023 Marine toxins have potent actions on diverse sodium ion channels regulated by transmembrane voltage (voltage-gated ion channels) or by neurotransmitters (nicotinic acetylcholine receptor channels).
