“…Crude venom of Tityus serrulatus scorpion, as well its toxins, has already been extensively studied (Arantes et al, 1989;Carvalho et al, 1998Carvalho et al, , 2000Conceição et al, 2005;Dorce and Sandoval, 1994;Life Sciences 91 (2012) Massensini et al, 1998;Nencioni et al, 2000Nencioni et al, , 2003Possani et al, 1991;Revelo et al, 1996).
