- Abstract
The article reports on Argemone oil augmented oxidatives stress in discrete areas of rat brain. Adulteration of mustard oil with Argemone oil leads to a clinical condition known as dropsy. The toxicity of Argemone oil has been attributed to its physiologically active benzophenanthridine alkaloids, sanguanarine and dihydrosanguanarine . The acute or chronic exposure to alkaloids in general has been shown to cause toxic manifestations ranging from hepatotoxicity, carcinogenicity to teratogenicity. Clinical manifestations of Argemone oil poisoning are erythema, oederna, hepatomegaly etc.
