- In Brazil, Bothrops snakes are responsible for about 90% of snakebite accidents, particularly affecting rural populations who seek traditional remedies like buriti oil for treatment.
- The study evaluates the antiophidic (snakebite treatment) potential of buriti oil against venom from Bothrops moojeni, combining cultural practices with scientific research.
- Results show that buriti oil contains a high percentage of beneficial components and significantly inhibits the toxic effects of the venom, demonstrating its potential as an alternative treatment for snakebites.
The antisecretory and antiulcer effects of diphenyl diselenide were studied in vivo and in vitro. Diphenyl diselenide, administered intraperitoneally prevented the development of gastric lesions induced by ethanol and indomethacin. There was no difference in plasma uric acid concentrations in diphenyl diselenide-treated rats with gastric lesions induced by 70% ethanol.
