P. S. Auerbach, H. E. McKinney, R. S. Rees and J. P. Heggers. Analysis of vesicle fluid following the sting of the lionfish Pterois volitans. Toxicon 25, 1350 – 1353, 1987. — Fluid aspirated from blisters following a lionfish ( Pterois volitans) sting was analyzed utilizing combined capillary column gas chromatography and negative ion chemical ionization mass spectrometry. Analysis for prostaglandin F 2α demonstrated 16.91 ng/ml, for prostaglandin E 2 0.143 ng/ml, for 6-keto-prostaglandin F 1α less than 0.1 ng/ml (nondetectable) and for thromboxane B 2 1.65 ng/ml. Platelet aggregation studies showed that blister fluid caused aggregation of isolated platelets only, which was inhibited by heat treatment or by the presence of normal donor plasma.
