Diets containing 0.5, 1.58 and 5.0% jimson weed seed were fed to male and female rats (20/group) in a 90-day subchronic feeding study. The alkaloid content was 2.71 mg atropine and 0.66 mg scopolamine/g of seed. Gross clinical observations, body weights and feed and water intakes were recorded
The carbohydrate-binding properties of the Datura stramonium seed lectin were studied by equilibrium dialysis, quantitative precipitation of natural and synthetic glycoproteins, and hapten inhibition of precipitation. The dimeric lectin (Mr = 86,000) possesses two carbohydrate-binding sites for
