Snake venom metalloproteinases and disintegrins: interactions with cells
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1998 Metalloproteinases and disintegrins are important components of most viperid and crotalid venoms. Large metalloproteinases referred to as MDC enzymes are composed of an N-terminal Metalloproteinase domain, a Disintegrin-like domain and a Cys-rich C ...

[Neuromuscular action of crotalid venoms: preliminary data].
Arquivos de neuro-psiquiatria, 1996 We studied 6 patients and 2 dogs that have been bitten by South American rattlesnake Crotalus durissus terrificus and one rabbit inoculated with crotalid venom. We analyzed sensory and motor peripheral nerve conduction, repetitive stimulation for studying neuromuscular transmission and electromyographies.

Effect of various Viperidae and Crotalidae snake venoms on endothelial cells in vitro
, 1994 The effect of various crotalid and viperid venoms at 10, 50 and 100 μg/ml was examined on bovine and murine endothelial cells in vitro. The venoms caused the cells to lose their processes, leading to the appearance of spaces which were gradually enlarged
