Gout 01/01/1982 - "These data substantiate the original classification of oosporein as a nephrotoxin and etiologic agent of gout in avian species." 01/01/1982 - "The most significant effect of dietary oosporein was severe visceral and articular gout, with death ensuing in 24 and 52% of the poults at the 1,000 and 1,500 micrograms/g levels, respectively. " 11/01/1981 - "Dietary oosporein concentrations of 200 microgram/g and above elicited dose-related mortality resulting from severe visceral and articular gout. " 11/01/1981 - "Avian gout caused by oosporein, a mycotoxin produced by Caetomium trilaterale."
