Nutritional toxicology of mammals: regulated intake of plant secondary compounds (2009, background): “…foods with PSCs that if over-ingested could have serious consequences including death (Aldrich et al. 1993; Foley & McArthur 1994; Iason & Murray 1996; Bozinovic & Novoa 1997; Dearing 1997; Dearing et al. 2001; Mangione et al. 2004; McLister et al. 2004; Dearing et al. 2005; Sorensen et al. 2005c).”
FAST FOOD FOR SLOW LORISES: IS LOW METABOLISM RELATED TO SECONDARY COMPOUNDS IN HIGH-ENERGY PLANT DIET? (2006, background): “A slow pace of life has further been linked to a diet containing high amounts of digestion-inhibiting compounds or toxins (McNab 1986; Mueller and Diamond 2001; Sorensen et al. 2005).”
The Influence of Plant Secondary Metabolites on the Nutritional Ecology of Herbivorous Terrestrial Vertebrates (2005, background): “Furthermore, detoxification is expensive and comparable to the cost of reproduction in many mammals (Sorensen et al. 2005a).”
