INTERFERENCE OF Bothrops jararacussu AND Bothrops cotiara VENOMS UPON BLOOD COAGULATION PATHWAYS
Estudos de Biologia, 2008 Hemostasis includes mechanisms for the hemodynamic balance and integrity of the cardiovascular system. Overflow of blood provoke as an answer the activation of coagulation cascade which leads to a clot of fibrin. Snake venoms affect different interaction processes within the haemostatic system. Bothrops jararacussu ando B. cotiara venoms were compared.
