Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

There is no known relationship between lathyrism (caused by
excessive consumption of Lathyrus sativus) and the
neurodegenerative conditions associated with compounds like
beta-aminopropionitrile (contained in L. sativus), beta,
beta´-iminodipropionitrile and 3-dimethylaminopropionitrile
(both not contained in L. sativus).
