The level of saponins associated with these photosensitization outbreaks were determined by GC-MS. Only low levels of Pithomyces chartarum spores were present on the B decumbens, and all isolates obtained failed to produce sporidesmin.271-274engsporidesminanalytic methodanimal experimentanimal modelcattlecontrolled studycrystal structuregoatingestionliver metabolismnonhumanphotosensitizationstone formationAnimalsCattleGas Chromatography-Mass SpectrometryLiverPhotosensitivity DisordersPlants, ToxicReference StandardsSaponinsSporidesminsAnimaliaBos taurusBrachiariaCapra hircusLeptosphaerulina chartarumPanicum dichotomiflorumPithomycesUrochloa brizanthaHepatogenous photosensitization of ruminants by Brachiaria decumbens and Panicum dichotomiflorum in the absence of sporidesmin: Lithogenic saponins may be responsibleArtigoWOS:A1996UY30800005Acesso restrito2-s2.0-0029758350
