In the current project, we evaluated the composition and toxicological profile of venom collected from farm-raised Naja atra. Venom was collected from third-generation captive bred Naja atra on a snake farm in Hunan Province, China. The venom was analyzed using sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide ...
Naja atra bites frequently cause immediate and serious disease. N. atra venom contains a complex of toxic components that can cause immediate and direct harm to the patient's skin tissue. If not treated effectively, it can readily progress to widespread localized necrosis, which in severe cases may ...
Cardiotoxin (CTX) from Naja atra venom is a principal virulence factor responsible for progressive local tissue necrosis and systemic inflammation following snakebite. Despite its clinical importance, the molecular mechanisms underlying CTX-induced skin injury remain poorly defined.
