Tremorgenic effects and functional metabolomics analysis of lolitrem B and its biosynthetic intermediates
Abstract The neuroactive mycotoxin lolitrem B causes a neurological syndrome in grazing livestock resulting in hyperexcitability, muscle tremors, ataxia and, in severe cases, clonic seizures and death. To define the effects of the major toxin lolitrem B in the brain, a functional metabolomic study w...
