Different mechanism of blockade of neuroexocytosis by presynaptic neurotoxins

open access: yesToxicology Letters, 2004
Nerve terminals are specific sites of action of a very large number of toxins produced by many different organisms. The presynaptic neurotoxins which interfere directly with the process of neurotransmitter release can be grouped in three large ...

A Cycad Neurotoxin

2022
The cycads are a group of relict Mesozoic plants of which 10 genera now exist in the mainly tropical to warm temperate regions of the world. An additional toxicity which affects cattle after weeks of consumption of cycad leaves is a posterior ataxia known locally as “zamia staggers”. A toxin responsible for this condition has not so far been discovered.

BIOLOGICAL NEUROTOXINS

Neurologic Clinics, 2000
The authors divide biological toxins into animal, plant, and bacterial classes and discuss each within a context of demographic, clinical and research examples. Advances in our knowledge are highlighted, and the authors relate the implications of this knowledge to target-specific neurologic involvement.

Detection of marine neurotoxins in food safety testing using a multielectrode array

open access: yesMolecular Nutrition and Food Research, 2014
Scope At the European level, detection of marine neurotoxins in seafood is still based on ethically debated and expensive in vivo rodent bioassays. The development of alternative methodologies for the detection of marine neurotoxins is therefore of ...

Prediction of Neurotoxins Based on Their Function and Source [PDF]

open access: yesIn Silico Biology, 2007
We have developed a method NTXpred for predicting neurotoxins and classifying them based on their function and origin. The dataset used in this study consists of 582 non-redundant, experimentally annotated neurotoxins obtained from Swiss-Prot.

Selected Neurotoxins

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 1988
The small animal practitioner is faced with an infinite number of potential toxins in our modern environment. Unapproved usage of drugs and insecticides requires the practitioner to keep informed about the development of new toxic syndromes. Recreational drug toxicosis in animals is still seen with some frequency in clinical practice and should not be ...

Nonprotein Neurotoxins

Clinical Toxicology, 1981
Nonprotein neurotoxins are continuing to play a major role as molecular probes in studying nervous processes. They also have clinical importance as some of them, such as saxitoxin and its analogues, are the source of public health problems, or have potential use in therapy.

Botulinum versus tetanus neurotoxins: Why is botulinum neurotoxin but not tetanus neurotoxin a food poison?

Toxicon, 1995
Botulinum and tetanus neurotoxins, produced by Clostridium botulinum and Clostridium tetani, respectively, are the most poisonous poisons known to mankind. Although botulinum and tetanus neurotoxins share several characteristics, such as similar mol.

Myoinositol – a Uremic Neurotoxin?

Nephron, 2008
In 28 patients predialysis plasma myoinositol was significantly elevated to 10.8 ± 2.: versus 0.75 ± 0.15 mg/100 ml in normals (mean ± 1 SD), and was weakly correlated with plasm; creatinine concentrations (r = 0.42, p < 0.05). Dialysis decreased plasma myoinositol con centrations to 3.5 ± 1.1 mg/100 ml.

Neurotoxins and Combination Therapies

Dermatologic Surgery
BACKGROUND Facial aging involves multilevel changes, extending from the skin to deep support structures. A comprehensive treatment approach targeting the many aspects of facial dynamics and architecture is often necessary to achieve optimal correction, prevent changes before they occur, and/or help highlight inherited features.
