Viper venom for diabetic nephropathy [PDF]
Kidney International, 2012 Diabetic nephropathy is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease in the United States. Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) blockers are thought to have a specific renoprotective effect in diabetes. Hirst et al. report the results of randomized clinical trials assessing the effects of RAAS inhibitors on urinary albumin excretion levels in ...

Viper Venom Disintegrins and Related Molecules
Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1998 The term "disintegrin" was first used in 1990 to describe a group of viper venom-derived, nonenzymatic small proteins that shared numerous structural and functional properties. These proteins, which have been found in a great number of viper species studied since that time possess both a remarkable sequence homology and an equally notable variability ...
