Intoxicação por plantas do gênero Pteridium (Dennstaedtiaceae) em animais de pr...

The fern species Pteridium aquilinum was recently reclassified in several species of the same genus, and the occurring species in Brazil are Pteridium arachnoideum and Pteridium caudatum. Plants of the genus Pteridum contain several active compound, and the most toxicologically relevant are thiaminase, responsible for poisoning in monogastric, and ptaquiloside, carcinogen responsible for poisoning in ruminants....

Metais tóxicos e seus efeitos sobre a reprodução dos animais. Revisão

In Brazil, as a result of the ongoing environmental crimes involving mining companies, concern was raised about the risk to human and animal health from exposure to toxic metals. This review aims to make a bibliographical survey about the reproductive changes in animals promoted by toxic metals contaminating the environment, including possible permanent damages to the genetic bank of the fauna of the affected r...

Polioencephalomalacia in ruminants from the semi-arid region of Rio Grande do N...

The present study aimed to describe epidemiological, clinical, laboratorial, and pathological findings of polioencephalomalacia (PEM) in ruminants from the semi-arid region of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. A total of seven ruminants (five sheep, one cattle, and one goat) with pathological diagnosis of PEM were included. Four cases were associated with thiamine deficiency, on account of chronic ruminal acidosis c...

Intestinal obstruction caused by neoplasms in two cows

Em bovinos, tumores abdominais que levam à obstrução intestinal parcial ou total são raros. Neste relato, descrevemos os achados clínico-patológicos de duas vacas com obstrução intestinal por neoplasias. Uma vaca mestiça apresentava apatia, perda de peso, constipação, enoftalmia, hipomotilidade ruminal e intestinal e distensão abdominal no quadrante ventral direito. O exame patológico revelou teratoma ovariano ...

Serum hepatic biochemistry and electrophoretic protein profile of healthy and E...

Compounds isolated from Agaricus blazei Murill represent a group of promising natural immunomodulators for use in the treatment of neoplasms. We have evaluated the serum biochemical profile of healthy and Ehrlich tumor-bearing mice treated with different extracts of A. blazei. Total, supernatant, and polysaccharide extracts of A. blazei were obtained from suspensions (at acidic or neutral pH) kept in a water ba...

Toxicity of ricin present in castor bean seeds

The castor bean (Ricinus communis) is a bush from Euphorbiacea family cultivated for obtaining oil from the seeds. This oil has broad industrial employment, particularly for biodiesel. However, castor bean seeds exhibit a potent toxin, ricin. It is a glycoprotein with highly toxic action of inactivating ribosomes. The toxic action of ricin is due to inhibition of protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells, causing c...

Pathogenesis, clinical signs and epidemiology of the poisoning by cyanogenic pl...

This review highlights the mechanisms of action of cyanogenic plants and provides clinical signs and distribution of outbreaks in Northeastern Brazil. Cyanogenic plants causing reported outbreaks of poisoning are Anadenanthera colubrina var. cebil (Piptadenia macrocarpa), Cnidoscolus quercifolias (C. phyllacanthus), M. carthaginensis var glaziovii, Passiflora foetida, Piptadenia viriflora, Sorghum halepense and...
