Q

Cherries, grass and elderberries are considered to be what type of glycoside?

A

Cycogenic glycoside

17
Q

What is the MOA of cycogenic glycosides?

A

Inhibition of TCA and glycolysis leading to

  • Acute: vasoconstriction, bright red mm/blood/lungs and histocyte anoxia due to inhibition of cytochrome ox
  • Chronic: neuronal degeneration/antithyroid effects
18
Q

What is the tx for cycogenic glycosides?

A

Na nitrate –> reactivates cytochrome –> methemoglobinemia

19
Q

What type of glycoside are sago plam, cardboard palm and coontie considered to be a part of?

A

Cycasin glycoside

“The raccoon puts his sage in a cardboard case”

20
Q

What are the three metabolites of cycasin glycosides?

A

Cycasin: GI, liver, cancer
B-methyl-L-alanine: neuro
Unknown: axonal degeneration CNS

21
Q

What does the unknown metabolite of cycasin glycosides cause in dogs and cattle?

A

Dogs: fatal liver
Cattle: zania stagger

22
Q

Flax, rapeseed, kale, soybean, broccoli and cabbage are considered to be a part of what glycoside?

A

Glucosinolate/Thiocynate glycoside

23
Q

T/F: Milkvetch plants are considered to be an nitropropanolol glycoside AND indolizidine alkaloid

A

TRUE

24
Q

What is the MOA of milkvetch?

A

Inhibition of krebs cycle and cell oxidative phosphorylation

25
Q

What are the effects of milkvetch in livestock vs. horses?

A

Livestock: RESP and NEURO (cracker heels and roaring dz)
Horses: NEURO ONLY

26
Q

Alfalfa and white clover are considered to be a part of what glycoside?

A

Phytoestrogens

27
Q

What does what clover cause?

Retinal degeneration (sheep), aplastic anemia, enzootic bovine hematuria, tumors (GI/bladder)

31
Q

What are the three steroidal saponins?

A

Agavae, grass and mother tongue

32
Q

How do steroidal saponins work in the body?

A

Can’t eliminate phylloerythrin causing photosensitization (secondary)

33
Q

What plant is considered to be a gossypol?

A

Cottenseed

34
Q

What is the MOA of cottenseed?

A

Chronic ingestion leads to cardiac problems with secondary liver damage and also destroys seminiferous tubules leading to infertility in males

35
