Inhibitory Effect of Plant Manilkara subsericea against Biological Activities of Lachesis muta Snake Venom

Figure 5

Effect of M. subsericea on L. muta venom-induced edema. L. muta venom (0.73 μg/g) was incubated for 30 minutes with M. subsericea extracts (7.3 μg/g); then mixtures were injected into mice and edema was evaluated, as described in the Methods. L. muta venom was incubated with ethanolic extracts of stem (1) or leaves (2); with hexane- (3) or ethyl acetate- (4) soluble fraction of stem; with hexane- (5) or ethyl acetate- (6) soluble fraction of leaves. Data are expressed as means ± S.E.M of three individual experiments ( ).
