From: Evaluation of the physiological activity of venom from the Eurasian water shrew Neomys fodiens
Changes in the contraction force of the frog calf muscle (a) and sciatic nerve conduction velocity (b). In both tests, 40 μl of extract from N. fodiens venom (NF) and 40 μl of S. araneus saliva (SA) were applied. Statistically significant differences are indicated by asterisks (NF: paired Student’s t-test in a, n = 30; Wilcoxon-test in b, n = 32; SA: Wilcoxon-test in a, n = 30; paired Student’s t-test in b, n = 30) for intraspecific comparisons (* p < 0.05, *** p < 0.001) and black dots (a: Mann-Whitney U-test; b: unpaired Student’s t-test in 0 min and Mann-Whitney U-test in 1 min after) for comparisons between NF and SA (• p < 0.05, ••• p < 0.001)
