Abstract
The occurrence of tetramethylammonium ion (TMA) in marine organisms is reviewed. The pharmacological action of TMA is also discussed, with special emphasis on the sign and symptoms experienced by oral poisonings. It is concluded that the major manifestations of TMA poisonings may be attributed to interactions with the autonomous nervous system. Fatal intoxications are due to neuromuscular blockade.Entities:
