Tetrodotoxin (TTX) as a Therapeutic Agent for Pain [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2012 Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a potent neurotoxin that blocks voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs). VGSCs play a critical role in neuronal function under both physiological and pathological conditions.

The Chemical and Evolutionary Ecology of Tetrodotoxin (TTX) Toxicity in Terrestrial Vertebrates
Marine Drugs, 2010 Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is widely distributed in marine taxa, however in terrestrial taxa it is limited to a single class of vertebrates (Amphibia). Tetrodotoxin present in the skin and eggs of TTX-bearing amphibians primarily serves as an antipredator ...

Identifying environmental factors associated with tetrodotoxin contamination in bivalve mollusks using eXplainable AI [PDF]
npj Science of FoodSince 2012, tetrodotoxin (TTX) has been found in seafoods such as bivalve mollusks in temperate European waters. TTX contamination leads to food safety risks and economic losses, making early prediction of TTX contamination vital to the food industry and

A Progress on the Application of Tetrodotoxin [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2021 Tetrodotoxin (TTX), a blocker of sodium channels, exists in the pufferfish, amphibians, and octopus, and originated in endosymbiont-vibrio. Researches have confirmed that TTX affected the action potential through the regulation of voltage-gated sodium ...

ttX calculations and modeling [PDF]
Proceedings of The Ninth Annual Conference on Large Hadron Collider Physics — PoS(LHCP2021), 2021 In this talk, we review the status of calculations for the associated production of a top pair and a Higgs, $W$ or $Z$ boson at the Large Hadron Collider. In particular, we focus on the resummation of soft gluon emission effects and on their combination with the complete set of next-to-leading-order corrections of both QCD and electroweak origin, in ...

Acute Toxic Effects of Tetrodotoxin in Mice via Intramuscular Injection and Oral Gavage
Toxins, 2023 Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a highly fatal marine biotoxin. Constantly increasing intoxications and the lack of specific antitoxic drugs in clinical applications highlight the need for further research into the toxic effects of TTX.
