Abstract
Methods: The scorpion’s venom was extracted into six fractions by chromotagraphy. Healthy male Wistar rats (N=72) were equally divided into eight groups of nine: G1: Controls (0.5ml. normal saline), G2: Crude venom (1000μg/kg), G3: F-I (120μg/kg), G4: F-II (430μg/kg), G5: F-III (80 μg/kg), G6: F-IV (180μg/kg), G7: F-V (60μg/kg), and G8: F-VI (130μg/kg). Blood samples were obtained by cardiac puncture at 1, 3 and 24 hours after the venom injection. The serum levels of AST, LDH, CPK, CK-MB and troponin-I were determined. Upon euthanasia, the hearts were removed from the rats and examined microscopically for histopathology.
