Abstract

D. G. Baden, T. J. Mende, G. Bikhazi and I. Leung. Bronchoconstriction caused by Florida red tide toxins. Toxicon 20, 929–932, 1982.—T17, a toxin purified from laboratory cultures of Florida's redtide organism, Ptychodiscus brevis (formerly Gymnodinium breve), produces bronchoconstriction in anesthetized artificially-ventilated guinea pigs. Bronchoconstriction, measured as a resistance to mechanical pulmonary inflation, was antagonized by atropine, but not by interruption of vagal nerve stimulation or diaphragm dissection.
