We characterized the effects of Loxosceles similis venom in a sponge implant at 24 h after injecting.
We measured the mast cells degranulation activity in the implant at 1, 4, and 24 h after injecting.
We quantified collagen subtypes I and III implant at 1, 4, and 24 h after injecting the venom.
We showed that apoptosis participates in the pathogenesis of loxoscelism.
