| has gloss | eng: Glycoalkaloids are a family of poisons commonly found in the plant species Solanum dulcamara (nightshade). There are several glycoalkaloids (alkaloids + sugars) that are potentially toxic. A prototypical glycoalkaloid is called solanine (sugar [solanose] + alkaloid [solanidine] = solanine), which is found in potatoes. The alkaloidal portion of the glycoalkaloid is also generically referred to as an aglycone. The intact glycoalkaloid is poorly absorbed from the GI tract but causes GI irritation. The aglycone is absorbed and is believed to be responsible for observed nervous system signs. Glycoalkaloids are bitter tasting, and produce a burning irritation in the back of the mouth and side of the tongue when eaten. |

| has gloss | fin: Glykoalkaloidit ovat kasvisten luontaisia myrkkyjä eli toksiineja. Glykoalkaloideja saadaan pääasiassa perunasta, mutta niitä on myös raaoissa vihreissä tai vihertävissä tomaateissa. Perunan glykoalkaloideja kutsutaan solaniiniksi (C45H73NO15) ja tomaatin tomatiiniksi (C50H83NO21). Ne ovat suurina annoksina terveydelle haitallisia. Glykoalkaloidit hajottavat solukalvoja ja häiritsevät hermovälitysaineen, kolinesteraasin toimintaa. |
