Scorpion venoms are composed mainly by toxins, low molecular weigh polypeptides with neurotoxic activity. Generally scorpion venom effects are attributed to the peripheral action of the toxins releasing neurotransmitters such as adrenaline, noradrenaline and acetylcholine. Nevertheless, it is known that the scorpion venoms act too on the central nervous system modifying the release of med…
The scorpions are among the oldest arthropods that inhabit the earth and almost remained unchanged over the centuries. The venom it is directed preferentially to obtain their food, but there are toxins used against mammals probably acquired in the evolutionary process. The venoms of scorpions are composed of neurotoxins, basic polypeptides of low molecular weight that act on ion channels,…
