Q

What’s the toxic principle for chloroform toxicity?

A

Metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes to phosgene (COCl2), which depletes glutathione and results in peroxidative damage to membranes

Neomycin, kanamycin, gentamycin, streptomycin, tobramycin, amikacin

21
Q

Toxic principle of aminoglycoside toxicity?

A

Inhibits lysosomal phospholipases, causing accumulation of phospholipids (form myeloid bodies) and cell damage
Inhibits Na/K ATPase

22

Toxic principles in bracken fern

A

Ptaquiloside, quercetin (carcinogens)
Thiaminase (PEM)
Hemolysin

24
Q

Syndromes seen with bracken fern toxicity

A

Aplastic anemia
PEM (horses>sheep)
Retinal degeneration (sheep)
Cystitis and bladder tumors (hematuria)

25
Q

What virus is associated with bladder neoplasia in cattle following chronic bracken fern toxicity

A

BPV-2 in bladder
Also BPV-1 everywhere and BPV-4 in GI

26
Q

Toxic principle of red maple toxicosis

A

Ingest gallotannins and GALLIC ACID–> metabolized by GI bacteria into pyrogallol–> creates oxidizing agents–> methemoglobinemia and Heinz bodies–> hypoxemia–> ischemic necrosis of renal tubular epithelium and hemoglobinuric nephrosis

27
Q

What normally prevents oxidative damage to RBCs?

A

Glutathione
Methemoglobin reductase

28
Q

Red maple latin name

A

Acer rubrum

29
Q

Pigweed latin name?

A

Amaranthus retroflexus

30
Q

Toxic principle of Amaranthus

A

Maybe phenolic compounds

31
Q

Key histo with amaranthus toxicity?

A

Acute tubular necrosis, perirenal edema

32
Q

Key histo with red maple toxicity?

A

Hemaglobinuric nephrosis
ATI

33
Q

Clin path finding with Amaranthus toxicity

A

Hyperkalemia (causes heart failure)

34
Q

Clin path findings with hemoglobinuric nephrosis

A

Heinz body anemia
Hyperbilirubinemia (icterus)
Hemoglobinemia
Increased CK
Elevated liver enzymes

35
Q

Differentials for perirenal edema in pigs

A

Amaranthus retroflexus
Oak toxicity
Ochratoxin A

36
Q

Oak bud latin name

A

Quercus spp.

37
Q

Toxic principle of oak bud toxicity

A

Ingest gallotannins–> hydrolyzed into tannic acid, gallic acid, and pyrogallol –> endothelial damage –> edema, ascites

Gallotannins also precipitate proteins in GI –> GI ulceration

38
Q

Primary targets of Oak bud

A

Kidney and GI

39

A

Prussic acid in the seeds inhibits cytochrome C and binds metalloenzymes factor (inhibits oxidative phosphorylation)

41
Q

A

Granulomatous and eosinophilic inflammation (horses don’t have a lot of eos and no cardiac involvement)

42
Q
