Neutralisation of Local Haemorrhage Induced by the Saw-Scaled Viper Echis carinatus sochureki Venom Using Ethanolic Extract of Hibiscus aethiopicus L.

Figure 3

Inhibition of procoagulant activity. Fixed dose of E. c. sochureki venom (75 μg) was preincubated with variable concentration of the extract at 37°C for 30 min. Then, 100 μL of the mixture was added to 200 μL of citrated human plasma and the coagulation time was determined. The inset shows the dose-dependent procoagulant activity of E. c. sochureki venom on citrated healthy human plasma. *** .
