This paper reports on the metabolic alkalosis produced in rats by canatoxin, a neurotoxic principle extracted from Canavalia ensiformis seeds. Rats receiving canatoxin showed increased blood bicarbonate concentration with alkaline pH and no change in pCO2. A fall in pO2 was also seen. A
Canatoxin, a convulsant neurotoxin from the seeds of Canavalia ensiformis, induces lipoxygenase-dependent hypoxia and sex-related alterations of carbohydrate metabolism in rats which are blocked by glucose, diazepam and hexamethonium. The present study analyzes the possible casual relationship
1. Canatoxin, a protein displaying lipoxygenase-activating properties isolated from Canavalia ensiformis seeds, induces hypoxia and hyperglycemia in male rats. 2. Liver glycogen, blood glucose and lactate levels were measured in male and female rats after canatoxin (50 mU, iv) injection. Increased
Canatoxin, a convulsant neurotoxin from the seeds of Canavalia ensiformis, induces lipoxygenase-dependent hypoxia in rats which is blocked by hexamethonium. The purpose of the present study was to examine the relationship between canatoxin-induced hypoxia and bronchoconstriction. Since several
