Tetrodotoxin and the state-of-the-art progress of its associated analytical methods

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology
Tetrodotoxin (TTX), which is found in various marine organisms, including pufferfish, shellfish, shrimp, crab, marine gastropods, and gobies, is an effective marine toxin and the cause of many seafood poisoning incidents. Owing to its toxicity and threat

Case of Paraesthesia Developed After Consuming Pufferfish

open access: yesTürk Yoğun Bakim Derneği Dergisi, 2021
Pufferfish, also known globally as ballfish, globefish and toadfish, is a fish species belonging to the Tetrodontiformes family. Following the consumption of this fish, tetrodotoxin (TTX), a type of neurotoxin, causes a rare type of intoxication.

Cancer pain: current practice and emerging targets

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cancer pain (CP) arises from a complex interplay between the tumour and its microenvironment. Many patients experience a mixed pain phenotype that encompasses nociceptive, neuropathic and neuroinflammatory mechanisms, and vary across tumour type and disease stage. Despite decades of intensive research, the mainstay of cancer pain treatment is still non‐

Investigating Non-Native Ribbon Worm Cephalothrix simula as a Potential Source of Tetrodotoxin in British Bivalve Shellfish

open access: yesMarine Drugs
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a potent marine neurotoxin found in several phylogenetically diverse organisms, some of which are sought as seafood. Since 2015, TTX has been reported in bivalve shellfish from several estuarine locations along the Mediterranean and

Occurrence of Tetrodotoxin in Bivalves and Gastropods from Harvesting Areas and Other Natural Spaces in Spain

open access: yesToxins, 2019
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a potent neurotoxin that is receiving increasing interest in the European Union because it has been found in different fishery products (fish, bivalves and gastropods) captured in European waters.

Memantine prevents acute stress‐induced memory deficits by reversing sex‐dependent pathophysiological glutamatergic alterations in the dorsal hippocampus

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose The neural mechanisms underlying effects of acute stress on memory are poorly understood. We demonstrated previously that acute stress produces identical spatial memory deficits in male and female mice but through distinct molecular mechanisms, with females exhibiting up‐regulation of N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate (NMDA) receptor

Tetrodotoxin and Its Analogues in the Pufferfish Arothron hispidus and A. nigropunctatus from the Solomon Islands: A Comparison of Their Toxin Profiles with the Same Species from Okinawa, Japan

open access: yesToxins, 2015
Pufferfish poisoning has not been well documented in the South Pacific, although fish and other seafood are sources of protein in these island nations. In this study, tetrodotoxin (TTX) and its analogues in each organ of the pufferfish Arothron hispidus ...

Peripheral targets for neuropathic pain

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Neuropathic pain represents a significant clinical challenge, with still limited pharmacological approaches to symptomatic relief. This review focuses on molecular targets implicated in neuropathic pain, particularly those involved in peripheral mechanisms. Using the IUPHAR/BPS database of biological targets, their occurrence together with ‘neuropathic

Alternative Methods for the Detection of Emerging Marine Toxins: Biosensors, Biochemical Assays and Cell-Based Assays

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2014
The emergence of marine toxins in water and seafood may have a considerable impact on public health. Although the tendency in Europe is to consolidate, when possible, official reference methods based on instrumental analysis, the development of ...
