  • Title: [Holotoxin content in the tissues of the holothurian Stichopus japonicus at different seasons of the year and their effect on oocyte maturation].
    Author: Aminin DL, Anisimov MM.
    Journal: Zh Evol Biokhim Fiziol; 1987; 23(4):545-7. PubMed ID: 3673372.
    Abstract:
    Seasonal variations and distribution of holotoxins in tissues of the sea cucumber Stichopus japonicus have been studied. It was shown that holotoxin content in the ovaries is higher than that in other organs during the breeding season. In the course of a year, the amount of glycosides in other holothurian organs changed a little. It has been found out that high concentrations of glycosides inhibit oocyte maturation in the holothurian Stichopus japonicus.
