a. Vitamin C prophylaxis: Vitamin C prophylaxis has been suggested as a preventive measure against lathyrism. Vitamin C may help mitigate the toxic effects of BOAA by enhancing the metabolism and excretion of the neurotoxin. b. Parboiling detoxicates pulses: Parboiling, or partially cooking, pulses (such as chickpeas or lentils) has been observed to reduce the concentration of BOAA and render them safer for consumption. Parboiling helps to leach out the neurotoxic compounds, including BOAA, thus reducing the risk of lathyrism. c. BOAA is the causative toxin : BOAA is indeed the causative toxin responsible for lathyrism. When consumed in large quantities over an extended period, BOAA can lead to the development of lathyrism, characterized by progressive flaccid paralysis and other neurological symptoms.
