Psychiatry related information on Shellfish

 

High impact information on Shellfish

  • In sitosterolemia, a rare autosomal recessive disorder, affected individuals hyperabsorb not only cholesterol but also all other sterols, including plant and shellfish sterols from the intestine [8].
  • Consumption of shellfish (a rich source of iodine) seemed to increase the risk of follicular thyroid cancer, whereas consumption of goitrogen-containing vegetables appeared to reduce risk of total thyroid cancer, possibly because of their cruciferous nature [9].
  • In order to determine whether this abnormal metabolism also involved other sterols, a patient with sitosterolemia was fed a diet high in shellfish that contain significant quantities of noncholesterol sterols, some of which are less well absorbed than cholesterol in humans [10].
  • This enhanced absorption was associated with an increased plasma total shellfish sterol level (13.1 mg/dl vs. 1.9 +/- 0.7 mg/dl in normals) [10].
  • The normal controls concentrated the shellfish sterols in bile 6.3 +/- 1.7-fold relative to the plasma shellfish sterol concentration whereas the study subject was only able to concentrate them 2.1-fold [10].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Shellfish

  • In Florida (USA), numerous cases of human ciguatera fish poisoning, as well as neurotoxic shellfish poisoning following consumption of local seafood products, have been reported [11].
  • Density of total and pathogenic (tdh+) Vibrio parahaemolyticus in Atlantic and Gulf coast molluscan shellfish at harvest [12].
  • The inclusion of a hydrolytic step of the hexane extract in the general procedure is suggested in order to monitor the contribution of non-polar diarrhoetic shellfish poisons (DSPs) to the total DSP shellfish toxicity [13].
  • On the basis of pathological studies of the Minamata disease induced by consumption of large amounts of fish and shellfish contaminated with methylmercury, the neuropathological and metal-histochemical changes in the human body were discussed [14].
  • A significant number have severe allergic reactions to foods and substances including: peanuts, tree nuts (almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts and brazil nuts); sesame; milk; eggs; shellfish; fish; fresh fruit; insect venom; latex; and prescribed drugs [15].

Anatomical context of Shellfish

 

Associations of Shellfish with chemical compounds

  • The five shellfish sterols (22-dehydrocholesterol, 24-methylene cholesterol, brassicasterol, isofucosterol, and a C-26 sterol) increased from 0.3% to a total of 5.2% (p less than 0.001) of total sterols [24].
  • An unusual isomer of domoic acid (1), isodomoic acid C (2), has been found in New Zealand shellfish contaminated by amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP) toxins and was shown to be produced by a local strain of the pennate diatom Pseudo-nitzschia australis [25].
  • Domoic acid, a naturally occurring kainoid, has been responsible for several outbreaks of fatal poisoning after shellfish ingestion, and we examined its neurotoxic mechanism in cultured murine cortical neurones [26].
  • Blood organic/methyl mercury reflects methyl mercury intake from fish and shellfish as determined from a methyl mercury exposure parameter based on 24-hr dietary recall, 30-day food frequency, and mean concentrations of mercury in the fish/shellfish species reported as consumed (multiple correlation coefficient > 0.5) [27].
  • Results obtained indicate that the attachment of virus to mucus is primarily ionic and involves the binding of viral particles to sulfate radicals on the mucopolysaccharide moiety of shellfish mucus [28].
 

Gene context of Shellfish

  • Studies in patients with sitosterolemia have identified 2 major new transporters, ABCG5 and ABCG8, that play a pivotal role in the regulation of intestinal cholesterol, plant, and shellfish absorption [29].
  • Good reproducibility data were also achieved with %RSD values (N = 3) ranging from 3.15% (0.56 microg DTX2/ml) to 5.71% (0.14 microg DTX2/ml), for shellfish extracts [30].
  • Since 7-O-acyl-derivative dinophysistoxin-1 (DTX-3) was the only compound associated to DSP toxins detected in the shellfish samples, an explanation for the diarrheic symptoms in the intoxicated patients would be the metabolic transformation of DTX-3 into DTX-1 [31].
  • The HPLC-FLD and HPLC-MS analysis showed only the presence of DTX-3 as the only compound associated to DSP toxins in the contaminated shellfish samples [31].
