1957 H. Selye in Revue Canad. de Biol. 16 1 An apparently quite unrelated skeletal disease, ‘osteolathyrism’, can be induced experimentally in laboratory animals by feeding them the seeds of other types of Lathyrus plants, especially L. odoratus. The active principle of the latter is aminopropionitrile.
1971 Sci. Amer. June 51/1 One form of this disease, called osteolathyrism, can be produced experimentally in animals by administering aminonitriles and related compounds. In osteolathyrism the inhibition of cross-links in elastin and collagen brings about structural abnormalities in the connective tissues, particularly those of blood vessels and bone.
1997 Natural Toxins 5 43 In a study of 500 patients suffering from neurolathyrism in Bangladesh it was found that 60 (all male) complained of bone pain and showed skeletal deformities suggestive of osteolathyrism.
