Pharmacological studies of oil sardine fishes
Keywords:
pharmaceutical activity, envenomation, anti-venom therapy, bio-pesticides, fish toxinAbstract
The current review article discusses the toxins of different species of fish as well as their pharmacological and therapeutic applications. Fishing in coastal areas is a major concern because it can cause serious poisoning to fishermen, residents and visitors. Toxins from fish can cause severe discomfort, which can spread to the extremities and the lymphatic system. It may also result in venous stasis, hemorrhage, and alterations in the diameter of the artery wall. Particle channels, ligand-gated channels, and G-protein-coupled receptors in body cells are totally impacted by fish poisons as far as physiological and metabolic exercises. They damage the signaling molecules, causing hemolysis, cardiovascular problems, impaired nerve activity and smooth muscle contraction. The effects of fish venom on specific antibodies to the toxin are used for rapid neutralization. It reduces pain, reduces symptoms and stops the inflammatory process in its tracks. Fish poisons have a wide range of medicinal uses and their biological information can be used to develop immunological diagnoses, biocides, anticancer drugs and analgesics.
