This Book includes the Physiological and Pharmacological study of snake venom. Venoms contain more than 20 different compounds, mostly proteins and polypeptides. Some of the proteins in snake venom have very specific effects on various biological functions including blood coagulation, regulation of blood pressure and transmission of the nervous or muscular impulse and have been developed for use as pharmacological or diagnostic tools or even useful drugs. A large proportion of the biologically active proteins and peptides present within snake venoms interact with components of the haemostatic...

Neutralization of venom by physical agents, a technique, which would specifically destroy the venom toxicity and not cause any physiological imbalance, was envisaged. The electrical field generated in the shock treatment probably causes structural impairments in venom components - the consequent altered interactions with the target tissue / system as indicated by the death postponement vouch for such possibilities. The high voltage treatment is likely to disturb the electrical charge properties, van der waals interactions and break weak bonds in toxin structure to induce conformational...
