The Gaboon viper has acquired an impressive reputation which is at least partly unfounded. This handsome animal with such striking features is undoubtedly docile which accounts for the very low… Expand
Separation and Partial Characterization of a Coagulant Enzyme from Bitis gabonica Venom
Summary. The venom of the Gaboon viper (Bitis gabonica) has been shown to possess both coagulant and anticoagulant activities in vitro. These findings confirm in part previous results, the latter… Expand
The toxicity of thallium(I) to cardiac and skeletal muscle.
The effects of (a) partial or complete replacement of K+ by Tl+ in saline perfusing isolated rat heart and diaphragm preparations and (b) pulse injections of high concentrations of Tl+ or K+, have… Expand
Influence of nerve‐ending activity and of drugs on the rate of paralysis of rat diaphragm preparation by Cl. botulinum type A toxin
Since the studies of Guyton & MacDonald (1947), Ambache (1948, 1949, 1951) and Burgen, Dickens & Zatman (1949) on the action of botulinum toxin it is generally agreed that the paralysis is caused by… Expand
