Ultrastructural pathology in skeletal muscle of XXXX envenomed with Crotalus vegrandis venom.

In this ultrastructural study we examined skeletal muscle fibres from @entity19 intraperitoneally inoculated with a sublethal dose of Crotalus vegrandis (rattlesnake) venom. The group of @entity19 inoculated presented neurological symptoms characterised by @entity1576 and hind limbs @entity912 . Skeletal muscle fibres showed different degrees of alterations. Most of them presented the characteristic pattern of @entity39 in progress. Atrophied and hypercontracted fibres were frequently seen. Some atrophied and @entity39 fibres showed several nucleoli-like bodies in the nucleus. In the @entity3202 and hypercontracted fibres, sarcoplasmic vacuolation and abnormal mitochondria with stacked cristae were observed. Areas of segmental @entity39 were also frequently found. In connection with these altered muscle fibres, @entity854 were detected. This study suggests that in envenomed @entity19 @entity1576 may be related with @entity121 caused by @entity2483 .
