Selection of environmental temperature by the yellow scorpion Tityus serrulatus Lutz & Mello, 1922 (Scorpiones, Buthidae)
(2006-04-26)
The preferred temperature of the yellow scorpion Tityus serrulatus was investigated since its dispersion is a matter of concern. Adult T. serrulatus, weighing 1.24 ± 0.20 g (mean + sd) and with a standard length of 59.3 ± ...
Renal effects and vascular reactivity induced by Tityus serrulatus venom
(Elsevier B.V., 2005-09-01)
Tityus serrulatus, popularly known as yellow scorpion, is one of the most studied scorpion species in South America and its venom has supplied some highly active molecules. The effects of T. serrulatus venom upon the renal ...
Effects of Tityus serrulatus scorpion venom on lung mechanics and inflammation in mice
(Pergamon-Elsevier B.V. Ltd, 2009-06-01)
The present study evaluated the effects of an intramuscular injection of Tityus serrulatus venom (TsV) (0.67 mu g/g) on lung mechanics and lung inflammation at 15, 30, 60 and 180 min after inoculation. TsV inoculation ...
Toxicity of crude and detoxified Tityus serrulatus venom in anti-venom-producing sheep
(Synapse Journals, 2019)
AMINO-ACID-SEQUENCE OF TSTX-V, AN ALPHA-TOXIN FROM TITYUS-SERRULATUS SCORPION-VENOM, AND ITS EFFECT ON K+ PERMEABILITY OF BETA-CELLS FROM ISOLATED RAT ISLETS OF LANGERHANS
(Elsevier B.V., 1995-04-13)
Highly purified Tityustoxin V (TsTX-V), an alpha-toxin isolated from the venom of the Brazilian scorpion Tityus serrulatus, was obtained by ion exchange chromatography on carboxymethylcellulose-52. It was shown to be ...
Clinical and cardiovascular alterations produced by scorpion envenomation in dogs
(2006-04-26)
Scorpionism is a common problem that occurs in tropical and subtropical countries and assumes great medical-sanitary importance due to its fatal effect on sensitive individuals, being able to lead children and aged people ...
Karyotype Conservation in 2 Populations of the Parthenogenetic Scorpion Tityus serrulatus (Buthidae): rDNA and Its Associated Heterochromatin Are Concentrated on Only One Chromosome
(Oxford University Press, 2010-07-01)
Within the order Scorpiones, the parthenogenetic mode of reproduction has been described for 11 species, 6 of which belong to the genus Tityus. In this work, an investigation of the chromosome characteristics of 2 populations ...
Supersensitivity of the isolated guinea-pig vas deferens induced by a toxic fraction of scorpion venom (Tityus serrulatus)
(1984-01-01)
1. Tityustoxin (TsTx), a toxic fraction of Tityus serrulatus venom, was studied on the isolated guinea-pig vas deferens. It increased significantly the maximal response of the preparation to both norepinephrine and ...
Isolation, homology modeling and renal effects of a C-type natriuretic peptide from the venom of the Brazilian yellow scorpion (Tityus serrulatus)
(2013-11-01)
Mammalian natriuretic peptides (NPs) have been extensively investigated for use as therapeutic agents in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Here, we describe the isolation, sequencing and tridimensional homology ...
