Abstract

A lectin was isolated from rapidly boiled cauliflower, Brassica oleracea var. botrys, and partially purified by DEAE-cellulose column chromatography. The boiled cauliflower had higher hemagglutinating activity than the fresh vegetable.<BR>The cauliflower lectin was intraperitoneally injected to mice weighing approximately 20 g. The injection of this lectin resulted in growth retardation and a decline in the intestinal enzyme activity. A decrease in plasma lipids was also observed, together with the promotion of lipid peroxidation in various tissues.<BR>These results indicate that, when the heat-stable cauliflower lectin was administered by injection, growth inhibition, a decline in villus enzyme activity and increased catabolic breakdown of body lipids occured in mice. The mechanism for the toxicity of this cauliflower lectin resembles that of a bean lectin ingested orally.
