Bhargava et al. (1970) reveals that an application of a neurotoxic fraction prepared from Naja naja venom to the exposed cerebral cortex of the rat produces a long-lasting convulsant effect. Although histopathological changes in the central nervous system(CNS) of the cat caused by a Habu snake bite (induced experimentally) have been demonstrated by Sakae (1963), pharmacological effects of Habu venom on the CNS remain to be clarified. This investigation was made in order to study the effects of intraspinally injected Habu venom on the CNS. In an attempt to determine the mode of action of the venom on the CNS, a preliminary experiment was conducted, designed to observe whether or not formation of a pharmacologically active substance takes place under in vitro incubation of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) with the venom., 論文}, pages = {30--34}, title = {[原著]Behavioral Effects of Intraspinally Injected Habu (Trimeresurus flavoviridis) Venom on Rats}, volume = {1} }
