The present study investigated the actions of the polyether marine toxin Pacific ciguatoxin-1 (P-CTX-1) on neuronal excitability in rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons using patch-clamp recording techniques. Under current-clamp conditions, bath application of 2-20 nM P-CTX-1 caused a rapid,

The physiological and biological properties of skeletal muscle in crustacea have not been well understood compared with those of vertebrates. The present study focused on myosin, the major protein in skeletal muscle, from shrimps. In our previous study, two full-length genes encoding myosin heavy

Pacific sand dabs utilize their dorsal and anal fins in different behaviours which are characterized by extremely rapid fin movements, on one hand, and essentially isometric force generation on the other. Muscle fibres controlling fin movements were examined physiologically. Direct electrical shocks

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is characterized neuropathologically by chromatolysis, Bunina bodies, hyaline inclusions, skein-like inclusions and axonal spheroids. Aluminum, a known neurotoxin, is the cause of dialysis encephalopathy and is considered to be a causative agent in high incidence

The actions of ciguatoxins from the Pacific (P-CTX-1) and Caribbean (C-CTX-1) regions were investigated in isolated parasympathetic neurons from rat intracardiac ganglia using patch-clamp recording techniques. Under current-clamp conditions, bath application of P-CTX-1 (1-10 nm) or C-CTX-1 (10-30

Aristotelia chilensis ([Molina], Stuntz) a member of the family Eleocarpaceae, is a plant native to Chile that is distributed in tropical and temperate Asia, Australia, the Pacific Area, and South America. The juice of its berries has important medicinal properties, as an astringent, tonic, and
