Nanomaterial-Based Biosensors for Food Toxin Detection
TL;DR: Some of the recent results related to fabrication of nanomaterial-based biosensors for food toxin detection obtained in the laboratories will be focused on.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemotaxonomy of Pochonia and other conidial fungi with Verticillium -like anamorphs
TL;DR: The results support the recent generic segregation by Gams, Zare and co-workers because pochonins were found to occur exclusively in species of the genus Pochonia and point toward the existence of further, cryptic species.

Produção, purificação e caracterização espectrométrica da micotoxina citreoviridina produzida pelo Penicillium citreonigrum em meio de cultura YES (Yeast Extract Sucrose)
TL;DR: In this article, the authors established a protocol for the production and purification of citreoviridin in order to yield enough high purity material to conduct toxicological studies that would help to elucidate the events that occurred in Maranhão.

Determination of serum proteins by means of the biuret reaction.
TL;DR: An investigation of the biochemical changes following experimental liver injury felt the need of a simple, rapid, and accurate method for determining the protein fractions in small amounts of serum and began with Kingsley’s biuret procedure.

Free amino acids and related compounds in dog brain: post-mortem and anoxic changes, effects of ammonium chloride infusion, and levels during seizures induced by picrotoxin and by pentylenetetrazol.
TL;DR: The cerebral levels of a large number of nitrogenous constituents have been determined in control experiments and during seizures induced by picrotoxin or by pentylenetetrazol in an attempt to classify different types of seizures on the basis of specific chemical patterns.

The role of gaba metabolism in the convulsant and anticonvulsant actions of aminooxyacetic acid
J. D. Wood,S. J. Peesker +1 more
TL;DR: The state of excitability of the brain following the administration of AOAA was related, within the limits of the present study, to changes in GAD activity and GABA levels, but additional data are required before the relationship can be properly evaluated.

Actions of Tremorgenic Fungal Toxins on Neurotransmitter Release
P. J. Norris,C. C. T. Smith,J. de Belleroche,Henry F. Bradford,P. G. Mantle,Alan J. Thomas,R. H. C. Penny +6 more
TL;DR: Verruculogen was shown to cause a substantial increase in the miniature‐end‐plate potential (m.p. p.) frequency at the locust neuromuscular junction and the effects of the tremorgens on transmitter release are interpreted in terms of their mode of action.

Glutamic acid decarboxylase inhibition and ultrastructural changes by the convulsant drug allylglycine.
TL;DR: In the convulsant rat, ultra-structural alterations of some nerve endings of the cerebral cortex were observed and altered nerve endings were preferentially found in the GAD-rich (nonaminergic) fraction of isolated nerve endings.
