Effect of Tityus serrulatus venom on cytokine production and the activity of murine macrophages [PDF]

Mediators of Inflammation, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 23-31, 2002., 2002
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Tityus serrulatus venom (TSV) on murine peritoneal macrophages evaluated in terms of activation. The effects of crude TSV were analysed by detection of cytokines, oxygen intermediate metabolites (H2O2) and nitric oxide (NO) in supernatants of peritoneal macrophages.

Tityus serrulatus envenoming in non-obese diabetic mice: a risk factor for severity. [PDF]

J Venom Anim Toxins Incl Trop Dis, 2016
In Brazil, accidents with venomous animals are considered a public health problem. Tityus serrulatus (Ts), popularly known as the yellow scorpion, is most frequently responsible for the severe accidents in the country. Ts envenoming can cause several signs and symptoms classified according to their clinical manifestations as mild, moderate or severe ...

Mass spectrometry‐based top‐down and bottom‐up approaches for proteomic analysis of the Moroccan Buthus occitanus scorpion venom

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 11, Issue 7, Page 1867-1892, July 2021., 2021
Buthus occitanus scorpion possesses highly toxic venom. This article describes the first proteomic screening of the Moroccan B. occitanus venom. Our findings highlight the complexity and the toxin diversity of this venom. The most representative compounds are neurotoxins.

Reciprocal transplantation of the heterotrophic coral Tubastraea coccinea (Scleractinia: Dendrophylliidae) between distinct habitats did not alter its venom toxin composition

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 4, Page 1794-1803, February 2020., 2020
Toxin complexity in the alien coral Tubastraea coccinea is conserved and co‐evolved with innovation of the venom delivery system. Morphological development of the coral and phenotypic expression of the venom and delivery system is not modulated by habitat pressures over short periods of time.

Ts6 and Ts2 from Tityus serrulatus venom induce inflammation by mechanisms dependent on lipid mediators and cytokine production [PDF]

, 2013
Inflammatory mediators are thought to be involved in the systemic and local immune response induced by the Tityus serrulatus scorpion envenomation. New functional aspects of lipid mediators have recently been described.

A comparative study of severe scorpion envenomation in children caused by Tityus bahiensis and Tityus serrulatus [PDF]

Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 1995
From January 1984 to May 1994, 17 of 239 children under 15 years old stung by Tityus serrulatus (15.1%) or Tityus bahiensis (84.9%) presented severe envenoming. Of these 17 patients (1-11 years old; median=2 yr) 14 were stung by T.serrulatus and three by T.bahiensis. All of them received scorpion antivenom i.v. at times ranging from 45 min.
