Resumen: | We examined the effect of treatment with heparin and polyvalent antivenom on mice muscle Extensor digitorum longus (EDL) regeneration, after damage induced by injection of B o t h rops jara ra c u s s u crude venom over the muscle of the right posterior limb. The mice were separated into groups and each group received treatment, by intravenous route with either high molecular weight heparin (H), low molecular weight heparin (LMWH), polyvalent antivenom (PAV) or with the combination of PAV plus H or PAV plus LMWH at 15 minutes and 4 hours after the injection of the venom. Myotoxicity was measured by the increase in plasma creatine kinase (CK) activity at two hours after the injection of the venom. The histological changes in EDL at 1, 3, 7 and 21 days after the injection of the ve n o m were analyzed by light microscopy. In each group the normal and regenerated muscle fibers were quantifi e d using Scion Image computer program. We also evaluated in vitro, the influence of these substances in the proteolytic and phospholipase activities of the ve n o m . Heparins decreased the proteolytic activity of the venom but did not affect its phospholipase activity. However the PAV antagonized both activities. PAV and its combinations showed antimyotoxic activity, according to the magnitude of CK plasma levels. At 21 days the r egeneration was observed in all animals, also in those that received only the venom. All treatments, ex c e p t LMWH, promote a significant increase in the number of muscle fibers. |
