Abstract

Toxins, are a number of toxic substances that the
living things secrete and protein character, may affect many organisms in
different ways, and may alter the various structure of organisms with acute and
chronic toxication. The evaluation of the studies on the possible effects of some
toxins which are the effective toxicants on mammals by re-examining, and the
creating resource for the next studies by summarizing the data obtained were
aimed in this review. The available literatural information were arranged as
review by revising in the direction of the researches in Kafkas University,
Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Department of Biology Laboratories. It has been
noted that living beings were directly or indirectly exposed to diverse toxins.
In this review, some effects of on mammals exposed to, have been tried to be
determined by toxicological data. It has been revealed that some toxins have no
lethal effect, some others have destructive effects in various reports. Based
on the examined information, it has been determined that different levels of
toxicity are caused in the mammals, depending on the amount of exposure of the
toxins. And also toxicity increases in parallel with the amount of toxin that
is exposed and the exposure period. Additionally, it was reported that the
effects may vary depending on the type of toxin. As a result, the research
results evaluated are similar to each other.

Some Effects of Toxins on Mammalia

Abstract

Abstract: Secretions
and protein characterized toxins, which are produced by living things, may
affect many organisms in different ways, and may alter the various structure of
organisms with acute and chronic toxication. In this review, it was aimed to
re-evaluate the studies on the possible negative effects of some toxins
effective on mammals, and to create a resource for future studies by
summarizing the obtained data. The available literature information were
arranged as review by revising in the direction of the researches in Kafkas
University, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Laboratories of Biology Department.
It has been noted that living beings were directly or indirectly exposed to
diverse toxins. In this review, some effects of on mammals exposed to, have
been tried to be determined by means of toxicological data. Although some of
the toxins have no lethal in the reports, some others have destructive effects
in the reports were revealed. Based on the examined data, it has been
determined that different levels of toxicity are caused in the mammals,
depending on the amount of exposure of the toxins. Also toxicity increases in
parallel with the amount of toxin that is exposed and the exposure period.
Additionally, it was reported that the effects may vary depending on the type
of toxin. As a result, the research results evaluated are similar to each
other.
