Journal ArticleDOI

Neutrophils do not contribute to local tissue damage, but play a key role in skeletal muscle regeneration, in mice injected with Bothrops asper snake venom.

TL;DR: It is concluded that neutrophils do not play a significant role in the acute local pathological alterations induced by the venom of B. asper, and neutrophil play a prominentrole in the process of skeletal Muscle Nerve 28: 449–459, 2003.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inflammatory events induced by Lys-49 and Asp-49 phospholipases A2 isolated from Bothrops asper snake venom: role of catalytic activity.

TL;DR: It is concluded that both PLA2s induce inflammatory events in this model and the fact that MT-II induced inflammation suggests that molecular regions distinct from the catalytic site elicit inflammatory events perhaps by interacting with specific cell membrane acceptors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cyclooxygenase 2 mediates post-inflammatory colonic secretory and barrier dysfunction

TL;DR: These studies demonstrate an important role for COX-2, possibly via generation of PGD2, in mediating the prolonged epithelial secretory and barrier dysfunction after a bout of colitis in the rat.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of the neurotoxic and myotoxic effects of Brazilian Bothrops venoms and their neutralization by commercial antivenom.

TL;DR: Results show that Bothrops venoms produce varying degrees of neuromuscular blockade in chick nerve-muscle preparations, and variable protection by antivenom against neurOMuscular activity indicates that the components responsible for the neuromUScular action may differ among the venoms.
