متن کاملIsolation of 5-Hydroxytryptamine from the Venom of the Indian Red Scorpion (Mesobuthus tamulus)
The present study was undertaken to isolate 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) from crude Indian red scorpion (Mesobuthus tamulus; MBT) venom as it has not been reported yet. Therefore, with the help of bioassay (using gastric fundus contractions) and fluorimetric assay methods, the 5-HT content of crude MBT venom (CV) was determined. The concentration of 5-HT in CV by either of the methods was differe...
متن کاملThe Effects of Isolated Fractions of Mesobuthus eupeus Scorpion Venom on Humoral Immune Response
Background Many elements such as immunosuppressive, chemotactic and anti-inflammatory peptide that could effect on human and animals physiologic system were determined in venom. This study evaluated the use of Mesobuthus eupeus scorpion venom fractions as an immunomodulator. Methods The venom fractions collected from Khuzestan Province in South West of Iran were purified by ion exchange chrom...
متن کاملBradycardia induced by Mesobuthus tamulus scorpion venom involves muscarinic receptor-G-protein-coupled cell signaling pathways.
Indian red scorpion (Mesobuthus tamulus; MBT) envenomation produces various cardio-respiratory abnormalities including cardiac dysrhythmias. The underlying cell signaling pathways for the cardiac dysrhythmias produced by MBT venom are not known. The present study was therefore conducted to delineate the second messenger signaling pathways involved in MBT venom-induced atrial rhythm changes. The...
متن کاملEfficacy of species specific anti-scorpion venom serum (AScVS) against severe, serious scorpion stings (Mesobuthus tamulus concanesis Pocock)--an experience from rural hospital in western Maharashtra.
BACKGROUND Death caused by scorpion envenoming is a common event in the tropical and subtropical countries including many regions in India. Severe scorpion envenoming causes an autonomic storm producing multi-system organ-failure (MSOF) and death. OBJECTIVES To determine the efficacy of Anti-scorpion venom serum (AScVS) in patients stung by scorpions (Mesobuthus tamulus concanesis Pocock--ear...
