Latex proteins downregulate inflammation and restores blood-coagulation homeostasis in acute Salmonella infection

Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz; 115 (), 2020
BACKGROUND Calotropis procera latex protein fraction (LP) was previously shown to protect animals from septic shock. Further investigations showed that LP modulate nitric oxide and cytokines levels. OBJECTIVES To evaluate whether the protective effects of LP, against lethal bacterial infection, is obse...

Chemical constituents of Calotropis procera latex and ultrastructural effects on Haemonchus contortus

Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the anthelmintic and ultrastructural effects of Calotropis procera latex on Haemonchus contortus. C. procera latex was twice centrifuged at 10,000×g and dialyzed to obtain a fraction rich in proteins, named LP (latex protein), and at 3,000 rpm to obtain a fraction r...
