SDS-PAGE comparison of the poison extracted from dorsal warts with that extracted from parotoids and other macroglands in the four species studied. (a) Electrophoretic profiles of the dorsal warts poison (W) and the parotoid poison (P). Note that the diversity of bands in W is much larger when compared to that of P. (b) Electrophoretic profiles of the poisons of dorsal warts (W) parotoids (P), radial macroglands (R) and tibial macroglands (T) in Rhinella jimi. Note the similarity of band pattern for all types of glandular accumulations in this species. Legends: Rhinella icterica (Ri), Rhinella jimi (Rj), Rhinella marina (Rm) and Rhinella schneideri (Rs)
