In Vitro Interactions between Okadaic Acid and Rat Gut Microbiome
Okadaic acid (OA) is a marine biotoxin associated with diarrhetic shellfish poisoning (DSP), posing some threat to human beings. The oral toxicity of OA is complex, and the mechanism of toxicity is not clear. The interaction between OA and gut microbiota

Screening for Okadaic Acid by Immunoassay
Abstract Increasing incidences of phytoplankton blooms with the potential danger of toxin release into the food chain have necessitated the search for new diagnostic methods that can detect toxins quickly and reliably. A competitive enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed to quantitate okadaic acid in shellfish and ...

Lipophilic Toxins in Wild Bivalves from the Southern Gulf of California, Mexico
Most of the shellfish fisheries of Mexico occur in the Gulf of California. In this region, known for its high primary productivity, blooms of diatoms and dinoflagellates are common, occurring mainly during upwelling events.

Solid phase extraction for removal of matrix effects in lipophilic marine toxin analysis by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry [PDF]
The potential of solid phase extraction (SPE) clean-up has been assessed to reduce matrix effects (signal suppression or enhancement) in the liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC¿MS/MS) analysis of lipophilic marine toxins.

Modulation of macrophage scavenger receptor transport by protein phosphorylation
The identification of three highly conserved phosphorylation sites in the cytoplasmic domain of each of the monomeric subunits of the macrophage scavenger receptor suggests that protein phosphorylation may regulate this receptor pathway.

The inhibitory effects of okadaic acid on platelet function [PDF]
Okadaic acid (OA), a potent inhibitor of protein phosphatases type 1 and type 2A, inhibited thrombin‐induced platelet aggregation (IC50 = 0.8 μM), [14C]serotonin release and increase in intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) in the same dose dependence. In the absence of thrombin OA increased the phosphorylation of 50‐kDa protein and 20‐kDa myosin light chain ...

Determination of Lipophilic Marine Biotoxins in Mussels Harvested from the Adriatic Sea by LC-MS/MS
Lipophilic marine biotoxins include okadaic acid, pectenotoxin, yessotoxin and azaspiracid groups. The consumption of contaminated molluscs can lead to acute food poisoning syndromes depending on the exposure level.
