AI Article Synopsis
- Phytotoxins in plants pose health risks for herbivores, especially ruminants, leading to reproductive issues like abortion and infertility that are often misattributed to other causes.
- Identifying the toxic plants can be challenging, as not all sources are known, making it difficult to address the resulting health issues due to unknown toxicodynamics.
- The research aims to inform about various metabolites, such as phytoestrogens and specific alkaloids, and their effects on animal health and biological responses.
Article Abstract
The presence of phytotoxins in plants constitutes a health risk for herbivores, particularly on ruminants who accidently consume them. Among the adverse effects produced by these are reproductive alterations, represented by abortion, infertility, and morphological alterations in neonates, which are frequently attributed to other causes. While in some cases the plants that contain such metabolites are known, other times they are not, leading to alterations that are difficult to treat considering that their toxicodynamics are unknown. The objective of this documentary research is to provide information on how metabolites such as phytoestrogens, L-mimosine, labdane diterpenoids - isocupressic acid, quinolizidine alkaloids and piperidine swainsonine, anabasine, coniine and associated alkaloids, among others, exert their action in the animal organism and the effects they produce.
