ABSTRACT
The hypoglycemia seen in ackee poisoning almost certainly results from the presence of hypoglycin A in the aril. However, the mechanisms underlying the vomiting and neurological disrders have not been properly established. We have, in thes review, re-examined the latter and proposed that the vomiting of glutamic and neurological feactures of ackee poisoning probably result from the excitotoxic properties of glutamic and aspartic acids derived directly and indirectly from ackee intake
