까치복, Fugu xanthopterus의 조직별 독성차이 = Difference of Toxicities among Tissues in the Pufferfish Fugu xanthopterus('Ggachibog')

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Twenty-four specimens of the pufferfish Fugu xantheptens, Korean name, 'Ggachibog', collected at a fish market of Pusan were examined for anatomical distribution of toxicity by the mouse bioassay method. Frequency of toxic specimens was 88, 75, 54, 13, 71, 80 and $71\%$, in terms of liver, intestine, skin, muscle, testis, ovary and bile, respectively. Their the highest toxicity scores were 417, 387, 112, 17, 39, 403 and 178 MU/g, respectively; and average toxicity values were $110\pm25.0(mean \pm S.E.)$, $73\pm20.3,\;17.8\pm 5.1,\;2.7\pm1.1,\;15.6\pm5.4,\;115\pm33.0\;and\;34\pm9.3 MU/g,$ respectively. A significant correlation between the toxicities of liver and intestine(r=0.93), between those of liver and skin (r=0.79) and between those of liver and ovary(r=0.83) was observed.
