  1. Significant difference obtained with: *P < 0.05: **P < 0.01. The reported comparisons concern: P. noctiluca crude venom versus control (a), Fraction 1 versus control (a) and Fraction 2 versus control (a). Every concentration is compared with its equivalent in the other extract. Significant difference obtained with: *P < 0.05: **P < 0.01.
