Seasonal variation in tetramine content in Korean marine gastropods Neptunea arthritica and Neptunea eulimata
Tetramine is a toxin that is primarily found in the salivary glands of carnivorous marine gastropods. Countries, such as South Korea and Japan, where marine gastropods are commonly consumed, continue to report annual cases of tetramine poisoning. Therefore, it is crucial to investigate the seasonal variations in tetramine content in these species. In this study, liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) was employed to analyze the monthly variations in tetramine content across various tissues of Neptunea arthritica and Neptunea eulimata collected over a one-year period (September 2023 to August 2024) from the East Coast of Korea. The condition indices of both species were calculated to estimate their spawning seasons. Compared to other tissues (i.e., the foot and midgut gland), the highest tetramine content was consistently found in the salivary glands across all seasons and species. The tetramine content in the salivary glands peaked in November 2023 (4580.05 mg/kg for N. arthritica and 7762.16 mg/kg for N. eulimata) and declined to the lowest value in February 2024 (568.10 mg/kg for N. arthritica and 679.35 mg/kg for N. eulimata). After the spawning season, the increased feeding activity may result in elevated tetramine levels, potentially contributing to prey capture. Therefore, removing the salivary glands of these species, particularly in November, is critical to mitigate the risk of tetramine poisoning.
期刊介绍:
Toxicon has an open access mirror Toxicon: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review. An introductory offer Toxicon: X - full waiver of the Open Access fee.
Toxicon''s "aims and scope" are to publish:
-articles containing the results of original research on problems related to toxins derived from animals, plants and microorganisms
-papers on novel findings related to the chemical, pharmacological, toxicological, and immunological properties of natural toxins
-molecular biological studies of toxins and other genes from poisonous and venomous organisms that advance understanding of the role or function of toxins
-clinical observations on poisoning and envenoming where a new therapeutic principle has been proposed or a decidedly superior clinical result has been obtained.
-material on the use of toxins as tools in studying biological processes and material on subjects related to venom and antivenom problems.
-articles on the translational application of toxins, for example as drugs and insecticides
-epidemiological studies on envenoming or poisoning, so long as they highlight a previously unrecognised medical problem or provide insight into the prevention or medical treatment of envenoming or poisoning. Retrospective surveys of hospital records, especially those lacking species identification, will not be considered for publication. Properly designed prospective community-based surveys are strongly encouraged.
-articles describing well-known activities of venoms, such as antibacterial, anticancer, and analgesic activities of arachnid venoms, without any attempt to define the mechanism of action or purify the active component, will not be considered for publication in Toxicon.
-review articles on problems related to toxinology.
To encourage the exchange of ideas, sections of the journal may be devoted to Short Communications, Letters to the Editor and activities of the affiliated societies.
