The tetramethylarsonium ion 53, arsenobetain 54, and arsenocholine 55 were detected in the soft tissues of both the pearl-free and the pearl-containing pearl oysters Pincdata fucata [162]. More than 20 years ago, arsenic-containing sugars 56 and 58 have been isolated from the kidney of the giant clam, Tridacna maxima [163]. Water-soluble arsenic species were determined in the kidney of the Tridacna derasa [164]. A total of fifteen organoarsenic species were identified, and 13 of these possessed... 

Another mass spectrometric study ° of arsenicals in the kidney of the clam Tridacna derasa, a rich source of arsenic, identified, in addition to many arsenosugars, several smaller arsenic oxides (Figure 5 F5-12, F5-14-F5-18) resulting from degradation of arsenosugars by successive oxidation and decarboxylation reactions. Some of these compounds, oxo-dimethylarsenoethanol (oxo-DMAE) and oxo-DMAA, are also found in human urine after ingestion of...
