Abstract:Back ground
Scorpion envenomation is a common health problem all over the world. Recent experimental studies on animals were held to prove the correlation between interleukin 1 β (IL-1β), lipid peroxidation and nitric oxide (NO) production in the development of cardiac and pancreatic abnormalities after scorpion venom exposure. The aim of this study is to assess the correlation of lipid peroxidation and IL-1β release and the development of cardiac and pancreatic complications associated with scorpion envenoma… Show more
