Effect of the Snake Venom Component Crotamine on Lymphatic Endothelial Cell Responses and Lymph Transport
ConclusionThis evidence suggests that snake venom components may have an impact on the function of the lymphatic system. This needs to be studied in greater detail as there are numerous venom components that may have effects on aspects of the lymphatic system. This would not only provide basic information on the pathobiology of snakebite but also provide targets for improved therapeutics to treat snakebite.
