Envenomation by viperid snakes is characterized by systemic thrombotic syndrome and
prominent local inflammation. To date, the mechanisms underlying inflammation and blood …

Polymorphonuclear neutrophils are the most abundant leukocytes in the blood and
constitute key components of the innate immunity. Upon infection or tissue damage …

Venoms are complex mixtures of toxic compounds delivered by bite or sting. In humans, the
consequences of envenomation range from self-limiting to lethal. Critical host defence …

Abstract Phospholipases A 2 (PLA 2 s) are proteins found in snake venoms with hemolytic,
anticoagulant, myotoxic, edematogenic, bactericidal and inflammatory actions. In Bothrops …

Snakebite envenoming is characterized by the injection of a mixture of proteins/toxins
present in venom following the bite of a venomous snake. The toxins have potent bioactivity …

The human body is affected by environmental factors. The dynamic balance between the
organism and its environment results from the influence of natural, anthropogenic and social …

The in vitro effects of LAAO, an l-amino acid oxidase isolated from Calloselasma
rhodosthoma snake venom, on isolated human neutrophil function were investigated. LAAO …

In the present study, we investigated the in vitro effects of two basic myotoxic
phospholipases A2 (PLA2), BaTX‐I, a catalytically inactive Lys‐49 variant, and BaTX‐II, a …

The aim of the study was to evaluate the in vitro effects of Bothrops bilineata crude venom
(BbV) on isolated human neutrophil function. We proved that BbV isn't toxic towards human …

Photobiomodulation therapy associated with conventional antivenom treatment has been
shown to be effective in reducing the local effects caused by bothropic venoms in preclinical …
