Tutin (toxin)
Tutin is a poisonous plant derivative found in New Zealand tutu plants (several species in the genus '' Coriaria''). It acts as a potent antagonist of the glycine receptor, and has powerful convulsant effects. It is used in scientific research into the glycine receptor. It is sometimes associated with outbreaks of toxic honey poisoning when bees feed on honeydew exudate from the sap-sucking passion vine hopper (''Scolypopa australis'') insect, when the vine hoppers have been feeding on the sap of tutu bushes. Toxic honey is a rare event and is more likely to occur when comb honey is eaten directly from a hive that has been harvesting honeydew from passionvine hoppers feeding on tutu plants. History Tutin was first discovered as a honey contaminant in the late 19th century. Missionaries from overseas introduced the western honey bee (''Apis mellifera'') to New Zealand in 1839. A few decades later, people eating the local honey would suffer from symptoms like vomiting, headac ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Arthur Tutin (3 April 1907 – 1961) was an English footballer who played in the Football League for Aldershot and Stoke City. Career Tutin was born in Coundon and played for a good number of local non-league teams and after failed trials at Sheffield Wednesday and Bradford Park Avenue he joined Aldershot in 1932. After playing 12 matches for the "Shots" Tutin joined First Division Stoke City for £500. Standing at just 5 ft 4in he looked well out of place in Stoke's squad and he made a nightmare start. Tasked with marking Middlesbrough's Charlie Ferguson on his debut, Tutin left him unmarked twice as Stoke crashed to a 6–1 defeat. However, he soon got to grips with top flight football and his lack of height was his main asset as his job in the side was to win the ball back and play in the wingers Frank Soo and Stanley Matthews and it was a task he excelled at. He became an ever-present in the Stoke side in the mid 30s playing every match during the 1935–36 season ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
