Male Swiss mice weighing between 25 and 30 g were used throughout this study. Mice were housed under controlled humidity at 22 °C ± 1 and subjected to a 12 h light–dark cycle in a sound-attenuated room. Food and water were available ad libitum, and mice were taken to the testing ...
Adult Swiss albino mice (8- to 10-week-old male or female) weighing 20–25 g were obtained from the Central Animal House Facility, Department of Zoology, University of Mysore, Mysuru, India. New Zealand albino female rabbits (6-month-old) weighing 1.5–2 kg were obtained from the ...
The idea for Venom came from Randy Schueller, a reader, and was bought by Marvel for $220 under the direction of then editor-in-chief Jim Shooter. The designs for the costume and character came from Mike Zeck and Todd McFarlane. The Black Costume first appeared chronologically in Secret Wars...
1B). Due to the absence of significant sex differences in venom composition, female and male venoms were pooled in the following analyses. Their relative toxin abundances were averaged to represent the adult venom proteome from the island population (A_ISL, Fig. 1B). 3.3. Ontogenetic shifts ...
(venom LD50) ofE. ocellatusandD. typusvenom, as previously described8. Groups of five male 18–22g CD-1 mice (Charles River, UK) received varying doses of each venom in 100 μl PBS via intravenous (tail vein) injection, and after 6 h surviving animals were recorded. Animals were...
Fig. 6. LDH activity in rmale Wistar rat peritoneal mast cells for the peptides Protonectin, Protonectin (1–6) and the heterodimer. The LDH activity was determined in the incubation medium; the results were shown as relative activity by using the total LDH activity contents of Wistar rat ...
Eighty Seven adult male Wistar rats weighing between 120 and 140 g was purchased from the animal house of the Department of Zoology, University of Ibadan, Nigeria. The animals were transported via well ventilated pathogen free cages to the Animal House of the Department of Zoology, Federal Univer...
As a positive control, the cells were treated with Triton-X (9%). Throughout the treatment, plates were incubated at 37 °C in a SpectraMax fluorimeter plate reader and the propidium iodide fluorescence was measured every 10 min. For the inhibition of the K þ efflux, BMDMs from C57BL...
Having characterized the primary structure of xibalbins and having tested them on selected ion channels, we aimed to determine the biological activity of xibalbins on the primary cells of adult male rats. The diverse interactions with voltage-gated ion channels suggest that xibalbins have effects no...
nebularis (Malaysia) was a pooled sample from eight adult snakes, comprising 4 male and 4 female wild-caught specimens from Cameron Highlands. Milking was done by author C.H.T. and the venom was subsequently freeze-dried for stability during storage. The venom of Thai T. Toxins 2019, 11...
