Popis: |
Cardiac dysfunction is a major complication that precedes death after scorpion envenomation. Here, authors show that heart failure and mortality are caused by excessive acetylcholine release, which requires IL-1R-dependent PGE2 production. Dexamethasone treatment effectively inhibits cardiac dysfunction and mortality. |
