Katerina Adam, Ch. Weiß

Open publisher page 34 citations

Abstract

ABSTRACT The constituents of scorpion venom have not yet been fully identified. During preliminary investigation of the venom of Leiurus quinquestriatus by paper chromatography, a spot corresponding in position to that due to 5-hydroxytryptamine (HT) was seen. This paper is concerned with the methods of identification and assay of this substance in venom, and also considers the histochemistry of the venom gland in relation to this finding.
