Inclusion of dried powdered leaves of Solanum torvum Swartz (collected in Papua, New Guinea) in the diet of rats induced hypercalcaemai rapidly and hyperphosphataemia more slowly; soft tissue calcification was most evident in the kidney and lung. Solanum torvum may be a causative agent of enzootic calcinosis in cattle in Papua, New Guinea.
将巴布亚新几内亚采集的刺天茄干燥粉末状叶子添加到大鼠饮食中，会迅速引发高钙血症，引发高磷血症则较为缓慢；软组织钙化在肾脏和肺部最为明显。刺天茄可能是巴布亚新几内亚牛群地方流行性钙化病的致病因子。
