Neurotoxins Affecting Neuroexocytosis
Physiological Reviews, 2000Nerve terminals are specific sites of action of a very large number of toxins produced by many different organisms. The mechanism of action of three groups of presynaptic neurotoxins that interfere directly with the process of neurotransmitter release is reviewed, whereas presynaptic neurotoxins acting on ion channels are not dealt with here.

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 ...

A selective neurotoxin takes many forms: as an antibody to a neurotrophin, as an alkylator, as an excitotoxin, as a blocker of requisite neuronal excitation during ontogenetic development, as a generator of oxidative stress, as an inhibitor of vital intraneuronal processes, and as an agent adversely affecting a host of multiple sites in neurons ...

Presynaptic enzymatic neurotoxins
Journal of Neurochemistry, 2006AbstractBotulinum neurotoxins produced by anaerobic bacteria of the genus Clostridium are the most toxic proteins known, with mouse LD50 values in the 1–5 ng/kg range, and are solely responsible for the pathophysiology of botulism. These metalloproteinases enter peripheral cholinergic nerve terminals and cleave proteins of the neuroexocytosis apparatus,

Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica, 1983
The role of toxic substances in causing central nervous system dysfunction is discussed with a focus on effects which are mediated indirectly through other organ systems which affect the brain. Neurochemical measurements of brain function, and the use of neuropharmacological probes of behavior are presented with the examples of lead poisoning, as a ...

Neurologic Clinics, 2000
The epidemiology, clinical features, pathology, and mechanisms of action of basal ganglia neurotoxins are reviewed. Manganese, cyanide, hydrogen sulfide, methanol, carbon monoxide, 3-nitropropionic acid, MPTP, and annonaceae alkaloids are discussed. The probable mechanism of action for almost all basal ganglia neurotoxins is inhibition of mitochondrial
