Metabolism of toxic plant alkaloids in livestock : comparative studies on the hepatic metabolism of pyrrolizidine alkaloids in sheep and cattle and of ergot alkaloids in an endophyte-resistant mouse model

Creator:

Duringer, Jennifer Marie

Abstract:

The pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) and ergot alkaloids are known natural toxicants found in livestock forage. These alkaloids contribute to large economic losses in livestock throughout the world. An understanding of the mechanisms of toxicity and development of better diagnostic tools for better management practices was investigated. Variability exists in the...
