Acute toxicity of tetrodotoxin (TTX). Should tetrodotoxin be part of the PSP class of toxins?

, 2019
Tetrodotoxin recognized as an emerging risk by international regulators Issues with TTX from pufferfish are well-known throughout history. TTX more recently identified in bivalve molluscs: -- Japan (scallops) -- NZ (pipi) -- UK (mussels and oysters ...

Response Surface Methodology for the Optimization of Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction of Tetrodotoxin from the Liver of Takifugu pseudommus

Toxins, 2018
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a marine biotoxin that has high scientific value. However, the lack of efficient TTX extraction and preparation methods has led to a scarcity of TTX samples for clinical application.

Comparison of the acute inhibitory effects of Tetrodotoxin (TTX) in rat and human neuronal networks for risk assessment purposes

, 2017
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is an extremely toxic marine neurotoxin. TTX inhibits voltage-gated sodium channels, resulting in a potentially lethal inhibition of neurotransmission.

Tetrodotoxin‐resistant mechanosensitivity and L‐type calcium channel‐mediated spontaneous calcium activity in enteric neurons

Experimental Physiology
Gut motility undergoes a switch from myogenic to neurogenic control in late embryonic development. Here, we report on the electrical events that underlie this transition in the enteric nervous system, using the GCaMP6f reporter in neural crest cell ...

Tetrodotoxin: The State-of-the-Art Progress in Characterization, Detection, Biosynthesis, and Transport Enrichment

Marine Drugs
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a neurotoxin that binds to sodium channels and blocks sodium conduction. Importantly, TTX has been increasingly detected in edible aquatic organisms.

Establishing a protocol to measure tetrodotoxin (TTX) levels in small bodied newts (genus Lissotriton) in western Europe [PDF]

Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a defence toxin most commonly found in marine organisms, and amphibians are the only land vertebrates (tetrapods) which are known to produce TTX.

Studies on Toxin-Producing Ability and Gene Map of Tetrodotoxin- Producing Bacteria

, 2010
[[abstract]]Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is one of the best known marine toxins, because of it’s an extremely potent, low-molecular weight, and non-protein neurotoxin. TTX exists with its several analogs.
