The cytoarchitecture of mouse EDL muscle 24 h after perimuscular injection of B. leucurus venom: effect of A. cochliacarpos extract (EAc). Muscles were studied by scanning electron microscopy after the removal of connective tissue matrices using a modified KOH-collagenase digestion method. (a) PSS; (b), (c), and (d) venom (1.0 mg/kg); (e) venom + dexamethasone (2 mg/kg, i.v); (f) venom + EAc 400 mg/kg ( per group). Magnification: 100x ((a), (b), (e), and (f)); 400x ((c) and (d)).
