Ability of fucoidan to prevent muscle necrosis induced by snake venom myotoxins: comparison of high- and low-molecular weight fractions
(2008)
Fucoidan, a natural polysaccharide extracted from brown seaweed, inhibits the myotoxic phospholipases A2 present in
the venoms of crotalid snakes. This study evaluated the influence of molecular weight on the ability of ...
Comparative study of the edema-forming activity of Costa Rican snake venoms and its neutralization by a polyvalent antivenom
(1986)
The edema-forming activity of eight Costa Rican crotaline snake venoms and its neutralization by a polyvalent antivenom were studied using the mouse footpad test. All of the venoms induced edema, the highest activity being ...
Isolation and characterization of basic myotoxic phospholipases A2 from Bothrops godmani (Godman's pit viper) snake venom
(1992)
Two basic myotoxic phospholipases A2 were purified to homogeneity from the venom of Bothrops godmani from Costa Rica by ion-exchange chromatography on CM-Sephadex. They have molecular weights of 14,300 (myotoxin I) and ...
Mecanismo de acción de miotoxinas aisladas de venenos de serpientes
(1984)
Biochemically and pharmacologically, myotoxins isolated from snake venoms can be placed in four main groups: myolaxic phospholipases A, low molecular weight basic toxins, cardiotoxins, and hemorrhagic myotoxins. The myotoxic ...
Human Papiloma Virus in lung cancer tissue. Experience at the Calderon Guardia Hopsital
(2012-11-20)
Background: The epidemiology of lung cancer, a major cause of morbidity throughout the world and the leading cause of mortality among adult men and women, has changed substantially in the past few years. Some of these ...
Physicochemical characterization of Jicaro seeds (Crescentia alata H.B.K.): a novel protein-rich and oleaginous seed
(2017-03)
Jicaro (Crescentia alata) is a tropical tree native to Mesoamerica well adapted to severe drought
conditions. The seeds of the fruits were analyzed for protein, fatty acid, dietary
fiber, phytate, polyphenol,
tannin, ...
Isolation and characterization of a myotoxic phospholipase A2 from the venom of the arboreal snake Bothriechis (Bothrops) schlegelii from Costa Rica
(1997-03)
A new myotoxic phospholipase A2was isolated from the venom of the arboreal snakeBothriechis schlegelii(formerlyBothrops schlegelii) from Costa Rica, by ion-exchange chromatography on CM-Sephadex.B. schlegeliimyotoxin I is ...
