Pharmacological modulation of hyperalgesia induced by Bothrops asper (terciopelo) snake venom

Toxicon, 2001
The ability of Bothrops asper snake venom to cause hyperalgesia was investigated in rats, using the paw pressure test. Intraplantar injection of the venom (5-15 microg/paw) caused a dose and time-related hyperalgesia, which peaked 2h after venom injection.
