Paralytic shellfish toxins in the Atlantic horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus) over a bloom of Gymnodinium catenatum: the prevalence of decarbamoylsaxitoxin in the marine food web

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2013
This study reports the accumulation of paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) in Atlantic horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus) over a bloom of the toxigenic dinoflagellate Gymnodinium catenatum. High levels of toxins, up to 4800 μg STXeq kg–1, were registered

Recent and emerging food packaging alternatives: Chemical safety risks, current regulations, and analytical challenges

open access: yesComprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 23, Issue 6, November 2024.
Abstract Food contact materials should not release their constituent substances into food at levels harmful to human health nor change the food composition, taste, or odor unacceptably. The historical evolution of food packaging shows that the use of plastics has increased dramatically, because of its convenience, lightweight, and cost effectiveness ...

The application of the nanotechnology in the elimination of phycotoxins and mycotoxins and implementation of mass spectrometry for their detection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Phycotoxins and mycotoxins are contaminants in the food chain that present a risk to public health. Marine toxins cause acute poisoning, while mycotoxins are characterized by long-term toxic effects, although acute poisoning is also possible.

Nodularin‐R Synergistically Enhances Abiraterone Against Castrate‐ Resistant Prostate Cancer via PPP1CA Inhibition

open access: yesJournal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 28, Issue 22, November 2024.
ABSTRACT Clinically, most prostate cancer (PCa) patients inevitably progress to castration‐resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) with poor prognosis after androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), including abiraterone, the drug of choice for ADT. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the resistance mechanism of abiraterone in depth.

Seasonal Early Warning of Impacts of Harmful Algal Blooms on Farmed Shellfish in Coastal Waters of Scotland

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 60, Issue 10, October 2024.
Abstract Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) can produce phycotoxins that accumulate in shellfish and subsequently poison aquatic predators and human consumers, potentially causing significant economic impacts to the shellfish aquaculture industry. HAB events are challenging to foresee as they are driven by complex inter‐annual and seasonal changes in physical,

Effects of pH and Nutrients (Nitrogen) on Growth and Toxin Profile of the Ciguatera-Causing Dinoflagellate Gambierdiscus polynesiensis (Dinophyceae)

open access: yesToxins, 2020
Ciguatera poisoning is a foodborne disease caused by the consumption of seafood contaminated with ciguatoxins (CTXs) produced by dinoflagellates in the genera Gambierdiscus and Fukuyoa.

Conformational flexibility of cyclic imine phycotoxins revealed by long-timescale molecular dynamics simulations

open access: yes, 2014
International audienceMacrocyclic spiroimine phycotoxins constitute a growing class of structurally related marine neurotoxins contaminating shellfish (Molgó et al., 2014). Most of them are strong antagonists of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs),

Investigating Dissolved Harmful Algal Blooms Phycotoxins in New Jersey Aquatic Environments

open access: yes
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are recurring problems in New Jersey (NJ). Some HABs produce organic phycotoxins that are detrimental to both ecosystem organisms and human health.
