A Short History Of Nitroglycerine And Nitric Oxide In Pharmacology And Physiology
1. Nitroglycerine (NG) was discovered in 1847 by Ascanio Sobrero in Turin, following work with Theophile‐Jules Pelouze. Sobrero first noted the ‘violent headache’ produced by minute quantities of NG… Expand
Snake venoms affecting the haemostatic mechanism--a consideration of their mechanisms, practical applications and biological significance.

- 1 June 1994
Snake venoms contain a rich variety of factors affecting the haemostatic mechanism which can be broadly classified as possessing coagulatant, anticoagulant and haemorrhagic activity. Coagulant… Expand
The Gaboon viper (Bitis gabonica): its biology, venom components and toxinology.
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
The Gaboon viper, Bitis gabonica: hemorrhagic, metabolic, cardiovascular and clinical effects of the venom.

- 18 July 1997
The effects of Bitis gabonica venom have been studied in several animal species, including the monkey, dog, rabbit, rat and guinea pig. Further information has been provided by observations on the… 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

- 1 April 1997
A prothrombin activator from the venom of Tropidechis carinatus has been isolated by means of gel filtration and benzamidine-based affinity chromatography, a novel use of the latter technique. Two… Expand
The factor V HR2 haplotype: prevalence and association of the A4070G and A6755G polymorphisms

- 1 April 2001
Recently, a polymorphism was identified in exon 25 of the factor V gene that is possibly a functional candidate for the HR2 haplotype. This haplotype is characterized by a single base substitution… Expand
