Experimental model for removal of snake venom via hemoperfusion in rats

Abstract: ObjectiveTo examine the efficiency of hemoperfusion in removing South American rattlesnake (Crotalus durissus terrificus) venom from rats compared with neutralization by antivenom.DesignAn exploratory experimental investigation in rats involving the injection of snake venom with or without subsequent hemoperfusion or antivenom administration.SettingBasic animal research laboratory in a private university.AnimalsNormal, healthy male Wistar rats (0.29‐0.40 kg, 3‐6 months old) from a commercial breeder.Interventi… Show more

“…The samples were prepared in 2× standard buffer (65.8 mM Tris-HCl, 26.3% glycerol, 2.1% SDS and 0.01% bromophenol blue) containing 0.5% β-mercaptoethanol (Bio-Rad) at 100 • C for 10 min. The gel was run in a vertical Mini-Protean electrophoresis system (150 V, 30 mA, 15 W, 45 min), stained for 30 min with Coomassie Brilliant Blue G-250 (Bio-Rad) and washed in deionized water, essentially as described elsewhere [8,64]. The amount of venom to be used was calculated based on a rat weighing 400 g. Thus, 2.4 mg of venom or 50 mg of tannic acid were each dissolved in 1 mL of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS).…”

“…Envenomation by the South American rattlesnake (Crotalus durissus terrificus) is characterized by minimal or no local manifestations, such as pain, mild edema, and recurrent erythema, but marked systemic effects, including coagulopathy, myotoxicity with myoglobinuria, peripheral neuromuscular blockade (flaccid paralysis), and acute kidney injury (AKI) [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. AKI is the principal cause of death [1,4,6], with the interval between envenomation and antivenom administration being an important factor in determining AKI and mortality [6,9].…”
