Agonists of melatonin receptors strongly promote the functional recovery from the neuroparalysis induced by neurotoxic snakes

2023-12-07

Abstract excerpt

Snake envenoming is a major, but neglected, tropical disease. Among venomous snakes, those inducing neurotoxicity such as kraits ( Bungarus genus) cause a potentially lethal peripheral neuroparalysis with respiratory deficit in a large number of people each year. In order to prevent the development of a deadly respiratory paralysis, hospitalization with pulmonary ventilation and use of antivenoms are the primary...
