PLA₂ activity of B. jararaca, B. jararacussu, and B. neuwiedi venom in the presence of FVF or UPF. A total of 50 µg/mL B. jararaca, B. jararacussu, or B. neuwiedi venom was incubated with 25 µg/mL FVF or UPF for 5 min at 37 °C. An aliquot of each mixture was then added to the reaction, and PLA₂ activity was measured. A total of 100% PLA₂ activity was achieved by incubating each venom (V) with saline (S) in the absence of FVF or UPF. Results are expressed as mean ± SEM of n = 6, considering * p < 0.05 when compared to the positive group (V + S).
