The figure illustrates in vitro (melatonin‐treated C2C12 myoblasts) and in vivo (mouse frostbite‐induced tibialis anterior muscle injury with melatonin administration) models. Melatonin activates AMPK, which phosphorylates PGC‐1α to enhance mitochondrial bioenergetics (decreased ROS and LDH, increased ATP, mtDNA, membrane potential, and oxygen ...

Discovery of peptidic anti-myotoxins [PDF]
More than 2.5 millions envenomations and 125.000 death occur each year due to snakebite. Current antivenoms consist of immunoglobulinesderived from animals, and they are therefore associated with a high risk of adverse reactions in humans. The use of synthetic peptidic antitoxinsmay lead to safer and more effective antivenoms. This research reports the

Pathogenesis of myonecrosis induced by crude venom and a myotoxin of Bothrops asper
The pathogenesis of skeletal muscle necrosis induced by crude Bothrops asper venom and isolated myotoxic phospholipase was studied using light and electron microscopy. White mice were injected intramuscularly with a dose of 2.5 micrograms/g and tissue samples were taken at 30 min and 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, and 48 hr.

A neuromuscular junction (NMJ) imaged with pre‐ and postsynaptic features seen with immunofluorescent staining along with confocal microscopy. The article presented here confirms the importance of regaining proper posttraumatic NMJ structure to enable reestablishment of healthy skeletal muscle mass and how the presence of mitochondrial matter promotes ...

Myotoxin II from Bothrops asper (Terciopelo) venom is a lysine-49 phospholipase A2
A basic, dimeric myotoxic protein, myotoxin II, purified from Bothrops asper venom has a similar molecular weight and is immunologically cross-reactive with antibodies raised to previously isolated B.

DM64 is a toxin-neutralizing serum glycoprotein isolated from Didelphis aurita, an ophiophagous marsupial naturally resistant to snake envenomation. This 64 kDa antitoxin targets myotoxic phospholipases A2, which account for most local tissue damage of ...

MyoD Overexpressed Equine Adipose-Derived Stem Cells Enhanced Myogenic Differentiation Potential
Mesenchymal stem cells could potentially be used in the clinical treatment of muscle disorders and muscle regeneration. Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) can be easily isolated from adipose tissue, as opposed to stem cells of other tissues.

Renal lesions in rhabdomyolysis caused by Pseudechis australis snake myotoxin
The renal lesions at various time intervals after i.m. injection of Pseudechis australis myotoxin (PA myotoxin) causing myoglobinuria in mice was studied. Biochemical assay of serum creatine phosphokinase (CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) showed marked elevations [7166 +/- 2064 IU and 1626 +/- 211 Berger-Broida U/ml (B-B U/ml)] six hours after ...
