Abstract
Tremor dose-response curves were determined for mice dosed with the ryegrass neurotoxin lolitrem B, and the tremorgenic mycotoxin aflatrem. A family of characteristic curves was revealed for each tremorgen, with lolitrem B eliciting a sustained tremor response persisting for over 24 h.This publication has 20 references indexed in Scilit:
