Paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) and tetrodotoxin (TTX) of Korean pufferfish
Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, 2021 Paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) and tetrodotoxin (TTX) are neurotoxins that display pharmacological activity that is similar to that of specific sodium channel blockers; they are the principle toxins involved in shellfish and puffer fish poisoning. In Korea, puffer fish is a very popular seafood, and several cases of accidental poisoning by TTX have ...
