Respiratory control ratio (A), effects of exogenous Cyt c (B) on respiratory rate expressed as (Vcytc—Vglut+mal)/Vglut+mal and medium release of mtDNA (C) in cardiac preparations treated with vehicle and whole Bothrops lanceolatus venom for 24hr. Relative ND2 DNA levels to 18S nuclear gene expression. Data are mean ± SD (n = 8). * indicates p<0.05.
