moraea sisyrinchium/glycoside

Six out of 6 steers survived a lethal dose of Moraea polystachya (blue tulp) when treated with activated charcoal alone and 3 out of 4 wethers survived when treated with activated charcoal plus potassium chloride. Barbeque charcoal was not of therapeutic value. An increase in the level of serum

The approximate minimal effective dose of activated charcoal, given to sheep 12 h after the administration of a lethal dose of Moreae polystachya, was found to be 2 g/kg. Serum cation levels remained within normal limits throughout the experiment.

Moraea pallida Bak. (yellow tulp) poisoning is the most important plant cardiac glycoside toxicosis in South Africa. The toxic principle, a bufadienolide, is 1α, 2α-epoxyscillirosidine. The aim was to investigate the potential to develop a vaccine against epoxyscillirosidine. Epoxyscillirosidine,

Intoxication by Moraea pallida Bak. (yellow tulp) in livestock is of great importance in South Africa, ranking top among all plant-induced cardiac glycoside toxicosis. The toxic principle, a bufadienolide, is 1α, 2α-epoxyscillirosidine. Treatment of poisoning is challenging and affected livestock

Moraea pallida Bak. (yellow tulp) poisoning is the most important cardiac glycoside-induced intoxication in ruminants in South Africa. The toxic principle, 1α, 2α-epoxyscillirosidine, is a bufadienolide. To replace the use of sentient animals in toxicity testing, the aim of this study was to
