Bronchoconstriction caused by Florida red tide toxins

D G Baden et al. Toxicon. 1982.

Abstract

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.
