Heart Alterations after Domoic Acid Administration in Rats
Domoic acid (DA) is one of the best known marine toxins, causative of important neurotoxic alterations. DA effects are documented both in wildlife and experimental assays, showing that this toxin causes severe injuries principally in the hippocampal area. In the present study we have addressed the long-term toxicological effects (30 days) of DA intraperitoneal administration in rats. Different ...
متن کاملDomoic acid analysis in bivalve molluscs
Domoic acid (DA) was identified as the toxin responsible for an outbreak of illness in Canada in 1987, caused by eating blue mussels that had accumulated DA as a result of the presence of Pseudo-nitzschia pungens. It is named amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP). Since a regulatory level of 20 mg DA/kg of shellfish meat was established. The methods of determination of domoic acid are reviewed: bio...
متن کاملLow dose domoic acid influences spontaneous behavior in adult rats.
Domoic acid (DA) is a potent marine neurotoxine present in seafood. Intoxication by DA causes gastrointestinal symptoms like vomiting and diarrhoea and also the so-called amnesic shellfish poisoning (inflicting memory impairment and seizures). Since exposure to non-convulsive doses is relevant to the human health, we investigated the effect of low dose DA administration in adult Wistar rats. Ra...
متن کاملComparative pharmacokinetics of chlorogenic acid after oral administration in rats
The present study was aimed at the comparison of the pharmacokinetics of pure chlorogenic acid and extract of Solanum lyratum Thunb. The animals were allocated to two groups, and were administered chlorogenic acid or extract of S. lyratum Thunb. at a dose of 50.0 mg/kg orally. Blood samples were collected up to 8 h post-dosing. Plasma chlorogenic acid analyses were performed using an HPLC metho...
متن کاملAttenuation of baroreflex sensitivity after domoic acid lesion of the nucleus ambiguus of rats.
The nucleus ambiguus (NA) and the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus (DmnX) innervate distinct populations of cardiac ganglionic principal neurons. This anatomic evidence suggests that these two nuclei play different roles (Cheng Z and Powley TL, Soc Neurosci Abstr 26: 1189, 2000). However, lesion of the DmnX does not attenuate baroreflex sensitivity (Cheng Z, Guo SZ, Lipton AJ, and Gozal D, J N...
