Both toxins are isoxazole derivatives. In the mushroom, as well as in the eater, ibotenic acid (Figure 3.6a) is decarboxylated to muscimol (Figure 3.6b), which seems to be the active species. Muscimol is an agonist of GABA, and acts on the CNS in a way similar to diazepam. In animal experiments, both ibotenic acid and muscimol caused a decrease in muscle tone and motor activity, and an increase in brain levels of serotonine, but did not affect the cerebellar content of GABA. For a recent review on ibotenic acid and muscimol see Michelot and Melendez-Howell (2003). 

Figure 4.15 indicates the range of rates of O2 consumption in different soils. Oxygen is consumed in oxidation of inorganic reductants, such as Fe(II), as well as in oxidation of organic matter by microbes. Bouldin (1968) and Howeler and Bouldin (1971) compared measured rates of O2 movement into anaerobic soil cores with the predictions of various models, and obtained the best fits with a model allowing for both microbial respiration and abiotic oxidation of mobile and immobile reductants abiotic oxidation accounted for about half the O2 consumed. The kinetics of the abiotic reactions are complicated. They often depend on the adsorption of the reductant on solid surfaces as, for example, in...

CBC analysis of an individual homozygous for Hb S indicates a moderate to a major decreased Hb level (60 to 100 g/L) with a normal to increased MCV and MCH. In individuals with a concurrent thalassemia, the Hb is farther decreased and both the MCV and MCH are lowered. In the neonate the peripheral blood smear shows the occasional sickle and target cells and Howell-Jolly bodies. As a patient s age increases, these features of hyposplenism become increasingly evident. In the adult the percentage of sickle cells observed can be as much as 30% to 40%. In the setting of a sickle cell crisis, fewer sickle cells may be present than when the individuals are clinically well. Howell-Jolly bodies, target cells, Pappenheimer bodies, boat-shaped cells, and nucleated RBCs are noted. The platelet count and neutrophil counts are elevated. Sometimes blister cells in which the Hb appears to be present in only one half of the cell is observed.

Without doubt, concanavalin A (Con A) is the most celebrated and has proven to be one of the most useful of the plant lectins. Its physical chemical properties and carbohydratebinding properties are well documented in previous reviews [3,8]. Suffice it to note that it was first isolated and crystallized by Sumner and Howell in 1936, who showed it to require metal ions for its activity [74]. By virtue of its interaction with branched a-D-glucans, it is readily prepared by affinity chromatography on crossed-linked dextran (Sephadex) [75, 76]. A homotetramer at pH 7 (subunit M, = 26 500 Da) of Con A has been sequenced [77] and its crystal structure determined both in its native form [38,39] and complexed with methyl a-D-mannopyranoside [40] and Man(al-3)[Man(al-6)]Man[49].
