Mandala: Look at our circle of friends, it's all plants.
Triptergium Lei: Yes, all the people who liked it in my circle of friends at the beginning also came to this circle of friends.
Bo Luohui: Black Star, Black Bean, Black Sky, Black Yoyo, Stone Sea Pepper, Wild Sea Pepper, Wild Umbrella...... What are these?
Nightshade replied to Bo Luo: These are all aliases for my nightshade.
Bo Luo replied to Nightshade: Wow, so many aliases, what is Nightshade?
Tripterygium: Nightshade? Solanine? Stupid can't tell the difference.
Solanum replied to Tripterygium: I Solanum is a plant, and solanine is a chemical in my body.
Solatein: I solanine is a chemical in the plant Solanium, and I also find it in sprouted potatoes, tomatoes, eggplants and other Solanaceae.
Tripterygium wilfordii: I see, nightshade is a plant, and solanine is a chemical component in the Solanaceae family.
Nightshade replied to Tripterygium wilfordii: I nightshade is an annual herb with small white flowers in summer and ripe black-purple berries in autumn. My berries and leaves are edible, but the leaves contain a lot of alkaloids, which are toxic and can only be detoxified when cooked.
Tripterygium replied to Nightshade: You are like me, poisonous.
Nightshade replied to Tripterygium wilfordii: Although I am poisonous, the whole plant can be used as medicine to dissipate stasis and reduce swelling, clear heat and detoxify.
Tripterygium Teng replied to Nightshade: It's the same as me, it's traditional Chinese medicine.
Solanacein: As a traditional Chinese medicine, the main ingredient in solanine is me.
Potato: As a Solanaceae, I also contain solanine, but I am not a Chinese medicine, I am a food.
Tomato: Wow, potatoes are potatoes, potatoes are Solanaceae!
Potato replied to Tomato: Well, we are relatives.
Solanium: I have nightshade, potato, tomato, eggplant, we are all Solanaceae, we are all relatives, and we all have solanine in our bodies.
Lily: My lily family also contains solanine.
Chrysanthemums: I also have solanine-containing brothers in the Asteraceae family.
Mandala: Wow, solanine is really everywhere, I want to read the autobiography of solanine.
Tripterygium Teng: Solanium, autobiography pasted up!
Solanine: Here's my autobiography.
I am solanine, also known as solanine.
I am not a single substance, but a class of steroidal saponin alkaloids with similar structure, similar physical and chemical properties, and toxicity.
Solanine, carcosanine...... They are all members of my family.
I mainly exist in solanaceae plants such as potatoes, tomatoes, eggplants, nightshades, etc.
I also have a presence in the lily family and Asteraceae.
The origin of my name "solanine" dates back to 1820.
At that time, humans discovered my existence in the plant Solanum and named me "Solanin".
Later, humans isolated me from the Solanaceae potato, and called me "potato toxin".
Later, humans discovered my existence in various plants.
To date, a total of 80 species of my family brothers have been found.
The berries and leaves of the plant nightshade are present in large quantities.
In ripe potatoes, mine has a lower amount.
However, in unripe potatoes or potatoes exposed to sunlight during storage, the skin turned green and sprouted, and my content spiked.
At this time, acute poisoning occurs when it is eaten by animals or humans.
I was able to enter the body through the gastrointestinal tract.
I have a stimulating effect on mucous membranes, a lytic effect on red blood cells, an anesthetic effect on the central nervous system, and especially a stronger effect on the respiratory center.
After a large amount of ingestion in humans, the disease can generally occur within tens of minutes to hours.
A burning sensation in the mouth and throat.
Pain in the upper abdomen.
Nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea......
dizziness, headache, irritability, delirium, coma, dilated pupils, generalized spasms, dyspnea......
Even respiratory paralysis until death.
Mandala: Solanthus is more toxic than me.
Nightshade: Sprouted potatoes cannot be eaten.
Potato: Actually, as long as I dig out the sprouted sprouts and the nearby flesh when eating, remove the green skin, soak it in cold water for more than 40 minutes, and add some vinegar when cooking, I can still eat it.
Eggplant replied to the potato: Sounds so troublesome, what should I do if solanine is poisoned?
Potato: It doesn't matter, humans have detoxification methods, emetic lavage, regulation of acidosis, and injection of atropine. If you are treated in such a timely manner, you can survive.
Tomato: These are all symptomatic treatments, is there a specific antidote?
Potato reply tomato: No.
Mandala: No, it's scary.
Solanine: So, don't just take me into your body, know where I am, keep your mouth shut, that's the source of the problem.
