T. Omorisatoh et al., MUSCLE EXTRACT OF HEDGEHOG, ERINACEUS-EUROPAEUS, INHIBITS HEMORRHAGICACTIVITY OF SNAKE-VENOMS, Toxicon, 32(10), 1994, pp. 1279-1281
The antihemorrhagic activity of muscle extract of hedgehog, Erinaceus
europaeus, was tested on various snake venoms with hemorrhagic activit
y. The extract inhibited strongly hemorrhagic activity of venoms from
Bitis arietans, Bothrops jararaca and Vipera latastei gaditana, and re
markably that of venoms from Agkistrodon halys blomhoffi, Bitis gaboni
ca rhinoceros, Bitis nasicornis, Bothrops atrox asper, Crotalus horrid
us horridus and Vipera berus. The antihemorrhagic activity against eig
ht other snake Venoms was below the detection level.
