Levels of Tetrodotoxins in Spawning Pufferfish, Takifugu alboplumbeus
Marine Drugs, 2023 Tetrodotoxin (TTX), also known as pufferfish toxin, is an extremely potent neurotoxin thought to be used as a biological defense compound in organisms bearing it. Although TTX was thought to function as a chemical agent for defense and anti-predation and
