lathyrus hirsutus/癲癇性発作

Prolonged oral administration of the Lathyrus sativus neurotoxin, L-3-oxalylamino-2-aminopropionic acid (OAP), to three young male squirrel monkeys at dose rates of 0.6 to 6.0 mg/g body weight/day produced no neurologic signs and no adverse effects other than depressed activity and occasional

Intraperitoneal administration of beta-N-oxalyl-l-alphabeta-diaminopropionic acid, the neurotoxin from Lathyrus sativus, to 12-day-old rats causes typical convulsions within 10min. There is a striking accumulation of glutamine in the brain, and chronic ammonia toxicity is indicated. There are no

Beta-N-methylamino-L-alanine (BMAA) and beta-N-oxalylamino-L-alanine (BOAA) are chemically related amino acids present in the seeds of Cycas circinalis and Lathyrus sativus, respectively. Consumption of these seeds has been linked to Guam amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (BMAA) and lathyrism (BOAA; a

This paper describes the signs of toxicity when seed-bearing flatpea (Lathyrus sylvestris L) hay is fed to sheep. Signs of intoxication (including seizure, muscular trembling and spasmotic torticollis) are similar to those observed for ammonia toxicity in ruminants. Accumulation of ammonia may be a

beta-N-Oxalylamino-L-alanine (BOAA) and beta-N-methylamino-L-alanine (BMAA) are chemically related excitant amino acids isolated from the seed of Lathyrus sativus (BOAA) and Cycas circinalis (BMAA), consumption of which has been linked to lathyrism (an upper motor neuron disorder) and Guam
