Gibbs | 10/14/11 | IL | MAY | $1,500, DQ | unknown | ST | theobrominePlant alkaloid found in chocolate as well as in a number of other foods, including tea plant, that can act as a bronchodilator. Theobromine, theophylline and caffeine are all methylxanthines and their metabolism is interchanged, so one can sometimes find any of them from the administration of any of the other two compounds. Most consider theobromine to be an environmental or dietary contaminant. Theobromine is also found in husks of the cocoa nut. Since the husks are sometimes used as bedding for horses, there are opportunities for horses to be exposed to the theobromine in the bedding. Furthermore, shipping containers that were previously used to transport cocoa may contaminate horse feed if the containers are not adequately cleaned. Findings are quite rare above the 2 mcg/mL threshold. | |
