  • Title: Distribution of tetrodotoxin in the body of the blue-ringed octopus (Hapalochlaena maculosa).
    Author: Yotsu-Yamashita M, Mebs D, Flachsenberger W.
    Journal: Toxicon; 2007 Mar 01; 49(3):410-2. PubMed ID: 17188731.
    Abstract:
    Tetrodotoxin (TTX) was quantitatively assayed in six specimens of semi-adult blue-ringed octopus, Hapalochlaena maculosa, by a post-column fluorescent-HPLC system. TTX was found to be present in all body parts, e.g. in high concentrations in the arms followed by the abdomen and cephalothorax. The toxin is not associated exclusively with the posterior salivary gland.
