carolinensis, Order Insectivora) secrete venomous saliva from enlarged, granular submaxillary salivary glands that discharge at the base of the grooved lower incisors. Their venom immobilizes invertebrate, amphibian or rodent prey and may be used, lethally, in internecine fights. Blarina brevicauda ...
Textile cone snails live in water and spend most of their time buried in the sand on the ocean floor. Textile cone snails usually live in marine environments near coral reefs. They can also be found in shallow water. The geographic distribution of the textile cone snails is the Indo-Pacific...

According to the World Health Organization, snakebite is a major health challenge in tropical and sub-tropical countries including India, and therefore, it is considered as a neglected tropical disease1. The “big four” venomous snakes –Daboia russelli,Naja naja,Echis carinatus, andBungarus caeru...
In examining the sub-acute toxicity of the crude venom of C. andromeda, we found that the sexual activities of the experimental rats increased several minutes after the injections (Mohebbi et al., 2016). This interesting finding implies the presence of a pheromone-like activity of the ATXB ...

3.3.2. Vipers Viperine and crotaline venoms were quite similar, being composed mainly of three dominant protein families: PLA2s, SVMPs and SVSPs (Figure 1). The major difference between the two subfamilies was that KUNs were present in viperines and absent in crotalines. Additionally, ...
Thus, sub-micromolar concentrations of adenosine have an antiaggregatory effect on whole human blood [22]. Adenosine has an extremely short lifetime in blood plasma [23]; however, a high dose of 9.3 nmole/g used in our experiments allowed for the detection of the effect. This dose ...
