Peptidase activities in Crotalus durissus terrificus semen [PDF]
REPRODUCTION, 2008 AbstractTo understand the role of peptidases in seminal physiology of Crotalus durissus terrificus, activity levels of representative enzymes in semen and their sensitivities to inhibitors, cofactors, and peptide hormones were evaluated. The existence of seminal fractions and the association of peptidases with these fractions were also characterized ...

Cell Penetrating Peptides: Classification, Mechanisms, Methods of Study, and Applications
ChemMedChem, Volume 18, Issue 17, September 1, 2023., 2023 Cell penetrating peptides constitute a heterogeneous class of peptides with peculiar features that make them particularly well‐suited for the delivery of almost every type of molecule. Due to their versatility, they are becoming increasingly important in various biomedical applications.

When to shed? Patterns and drivers of time to first ecdysis in snakes
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2023., 2023 We assessed patterns in time to postnatal ecdysis in snake species, and related measures to various biological traits. Time to postnatal ecdysis can be shorter or longer than the ancestral state, which we estimated at 8–9 days, indicating that there are several competing drivers for time to postnatal ecdysis.

Environmental drivers of tropical forest snake phenology: Insights from citizen science
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2023., 2023 We used long‐term time‐series data to investigate the environmentally driven changes in the activity patterns of 25 snake species in the Atlantic Forest region of southeastern Brazil. Overall, we found snake activity patterns were largely driven by temperature and humidity, with venomous and non‐venomous species responding differently to climate.

Species out of sight: elucidating the determinants of research effort in global reptiles
Ecography, Volume 2023, Issue 3, March 2023., 2023 More than two million species have been described so far, but our knowledge on most taxa remains scarce or inexistent, and the available biodiversity data is often taxonomically, phylogenetically and spatially biased. Unevenness in research effort across species or regions can interact with data biases and compromise our ability to properly study and ...

Austral Ecology, Volume 47, Issue 3, Page 723-728, May 2022., 2022 AbstractMalformations of vertebrae potentially occur across many taxa, particularly in Testudines, which are susceptible to kyphosis (dorsoventral curvature of the spine). Such malformations may stem from either genetic or environmental origins, and their prevalence and associated impacts on survival remain poorly understood.

Actions of Crotalus durissus terrificus venom and crotoxin on the isolated rat kidney
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2001 Many studies have reported the occurrence of lethal acute renal failure after snakebites. The aim of the present investigation was to determine alterations in renal function produced by Crotalus durissus terrificus venom and crotoxin as well as the ...

Toxicon, 1991 A comparative study was performed with the venoms of newborn Crotalus durissus durissus, adult Crotalus durissus terrificus and adult Crotalus durissus durissus snakes. Venom of newborn specimens of C.d. durissus is very similar to that of adult specimens of C.d.
