Description
Aflatrem is a tremorgenic mycotoxin with acute neurotoxic effects, a single low dose of aflatrem is able to induce degeneration of neuronal processes in hippocampal neurotransmitter systems. Aflatrem potentiates the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-induced chloride current, the potentiating action of aflatrem on the GABAA receptor channel may explain the initial symptoms of intoxication caused by aflatrem in vivo
