abstractText | In the present work we report that susceptibility to Crotalus durissus terrificus venom: varies according to the strain of inbred mouse used. The s.c. LD50 for Balb/c and C57BI/6 mice were 193 micrograms/kg and 171 micrograms/kg, whereas for A/J and DBA/J they were 78 micrograms/kg and 74 micrograms/kg, respectively. In addition, a direct correlation between susceptibility to C. d. terrificus venom and creatine kinase serum levels (CK) was observed. |
