Abstract

THE main physiological effects produced by the toxin of the Egyptian scorpion1 are: (1) inhibition of rabbit smooth muscle; (2) acceleration of the isolated rabbit and frog heart (antagonized by ergotoxin); (3) rise of blood pressure of the dog (reversed by ergotoxin); (4) vomiting, and contraction of intestine and bladder of rabbit and dog in the intact animal (antagonized by atropine).
