Leiurus quinquestriatus crude venom caused metabolic alkalosis which was partially compensated by respiratory acidosis. Fraction 1 of the venom caused metabolic and respiratory acidosis. The other fractions caused metabolic alkalosis with various degrees of compensation by respiratory acidosis. Fraction 1 caused a marked decrease in blood pH. Hypoxia seemed to be an important contributing factor for this change. Sodium levels decreased while potassium levels increased in the plasma.
