Identification of crotasin, a crotamine-related gene of Crotalus durissus terrificus
Toxicon, 2004Crotamine is a cationic peptide (4.9 kDa, pI 9.5) of South American rattlesnake, Crotalus durissus terrificus' venom. Its presence varies according to the subspecies or the geographical locality of a given species. At the genomic level, we observed the presence of 1.8 kb gene, Crt-p1, in crotamine-positive specimens and its absence in crotamine ...

Snake Venomic of Crotalus durissus terrificus—Correlation with Pharmacological Activities
Journal of Proteome Research, 2010The snake venomic of Crotalus durissus terrificus was analyzed by 2-D and 1-D electrophoresis and subsequent MS/MS and enzymatic assays. The venomic of the South American rattlesnake comprises toxins from seven protein families: phospholipases A(2), serine proteinases, ecto-5'-nucleotidases, metalloproteinases, nerve growth factors, phosphodiesterases,

Purification of gyroxin from a South American rattlesnake (Crotalus durissus terrificus) venom
Toxicon, 1980Abstract Gyroxin, a non-lethal toxin from Crotalus durissus terrificus venom was isolated by a procedure involving two chromatographies on Sephadex G-75 at pH 4·0; ion exchange chromatography on CM-Sephadex C-50 at pH 3·5 and chromatography on Sephadex G-75 at pH 4·0.

Absence of myocardial involvement in children victims of Crotalus durissus terrificus envenoming
Toxicon, 2003The myotoxic activity of the venom of Crotalus durissus terrificus is demonstrable by increased serum levels of the enzymes creatine kinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase (LD), and aspartate aminotransferase. Serial measurements of CK, LD and their isoenzymes in bite victims showed a pattern similar to that observed in acute myocardial infarction ...

Myocardial damage induced by tropical rattlesnake (Crotalus durissus terrificus) venom in rats
Cardiovascular Pathology, 1993This article describes the light and electron microscopic appearance of the rat myocardium at various time intervals after the administration of Crotalus durissus terrificus venom by intraperitoneal route. The crotalid envenomation produced small foci of myocardial necrosis scattered throughout the base of the ventricles.

[Early effect of Crotalus durissus terrificus venom on kidney circulation].
Acta physiologica latino americana, 1981Local blood flow was measured in renal cortex (1 mm below cortical surface) by means of the hydrogen clearance method in urethanized rats. Recording of blood pressure from femoral artery was performed. Crotalus durissus terrificus venom injection (one mg/kg i.v.) significantly decreased cortical blood flow at 10 min, without a significant arterial ...
