The potent tremorgenic neurotoxins lolitrem B and aflatrem: a comparison of the tremor response in mice. 1986

R T Gallagher, and A D Hawkes

Tremor dose-response curves were determined for mice dosed with the ryegrass neurotoxin lolitrem B, and the tremor-genic mycotoxin aflatrem. A family of characteristic curves was revealed for each tremorgenic, with lolitrem B eliciting a sustained tremor response persisting for over 24 h.

D014202 Tremor Cyclical movement of a body part that can represent either a physiologic process or a manifestation of disease. Intention or action tremor, a common manifestation of CEREBELLAR DISEASES, is aggravated by movement. In contrast, resting tremor is maximal when there is no attempt at voluntary movement, and occurs as a relatively frequent manifestation of PARKINSON DISEASE.
