Lycopene modulates nitric oxide pathways against 3-nitropropionic acid-induced neurotoxicity.

10 Oct 2009 AIM: The present study has been designed to investigate the involvement of the nitric oxide mechanism in the protective effect of lycopene against 3-nitropropionic acid-induced Huntington's disease-like symptoms in rats. MAIN METHODS: The present ... Read more...

Suicide attempt by ingestion of rotenone-containing plant extracts: one case report in French Guiana.

30 Aug 2009 INTRODUCTION: Several species of plants in the Fabaceae family are traditionally used for poison fishing because they contain ichthyotoxic rotenoids. In French Guiana two species of Fabaceae belonging to Lonchocarpus genus with a toxic rotenone ... Read more...

Acute neurotoxicity after yohimbine ingestion by a body builder.

30 Aug 2009 Yohimbine is an alkaloid obtained from the Corynanthe yohimbe tree and other biological sources. Yohimbine is currently approved in the United States for erectile dysfunction and has undergone resurgence in street use as an aphrodisiac and mild ... Read more...
