When 400 micrograms ivermectin/kg was administered subcutaneously to rabbits infected with the ear mite Psoroptes cuniculi it significantly reduced the clinical score, and when 500 micrograms ivermectin/kg was administered subcutaneously to guinea pigs with mange due to Trixacaurus caviae it resulted in a clinical cure. In rabbits a subcutaneous dose of 400 micrograms/kg produced high and sustained concentrations of ivermectin in the tissues and body fluids for at least 13 days and its rate of depletion from tissues was similar to that observed in sheep and rats. The mean (+/- sem) maximum concentration in plasma was 42.0 +/- 9.7 ng/ml 37.2 +/- 5.0 hours after administration and the area under the concentration-time curve was 3543 +/- 580 ng/ml hours. After the administration of 500 micrograms ivermectin/kg to guinea pigs orally, subcutaneously or topically the drug could be detected in the plasma only after subcutaneous administration. The mean concentration 72 hours after its administration to four guinea pigs was 0.7 +/- 0.3 ng/ml.  相似文献

To determine the drug dose required to inhibit platelet reactivity by at least 50%, 2 drug regimens were evaluated in heartworm-negative, heartworm-infected, and heartworm-infected dogs embolized with dead heartworms. Aspirin, or a combination of aspirin and dipyridamole, were administered to 2 groups of Beagles (n = 5 each) for 5 to 9 days; a third group of 5 Beagles served as nontreated controls. For heartworm-negative dogs, mean (+/- SD) aspirin dosage that inhibited collagen-induced platelet reactivity by at least 50% was 6 (+/- 2) mg/kg of body weight given once daily. The aspirin/diphridamole combination dosage was 1 mg of each drug/kg given every 12 hours. All dogs (n = 15) were implanted with 7 adult heartworms each and remedicated (or not treated) beginning at 21 days after heartworm implantation. In heartworm-infected dogs, mean aspirin dosage required to inhibit collagen-induced platelet reactivity greater than or equal to 50% was 10 (+/- 6) mg/kg. Mean dosage of aspirin/dipyridamole combination was 1.6 +/- (0.5) mg of each drug/kg given every 12 hours. When platelet reactivity in response to collagen was determined to be inhibited by at least 50% in all medicated dogs, each dog (n = 15) was embolized with 7 dead adult heartworms to mimic heartworm adulticidal treatment. Platelet reactivity was monitored for 21 days after treatment, and drug dose was adjusted to maintain platelet inhibition by at least 50%. In embolized dogs, mean aspirin dosage was 17 (+/- 14) mg/kg given once daily. Mean dosage of the aspirin/dipyridamole combination was 2.8 (+/- 1.3) mg of each drug/kg given every 12 hours. All dogs (n = 15) were euthanatized 21 days after heartworm embolization. Each lung lobe was evaluated for severity of lesions and presence of organized or fibrinous thrombi. Lesion severity in the aspirin- and aspirin/dipyridamole-treated dogs was not significantly different from that in control dogs.  相似文献

Progesterone was administered IM to 6 adult anestrous bitches at a dosage of 2 mg/kg of body weight. Serum progesterone concentrations were measured prior to progesterone administration and for 72 hours thereafter. The serum progesterone concentration time data were analyzed by use of a pharmacokinetics modeling computer program. The mean (+/- SD) peak serum progesterone concentration (34.3 +/- 7.8 ng/ml) was reached at 1.8 +/- 0.2 hours after progesterone administration. The mean serum progesterone concentration was 6.9 +/- 1.4 ng/ml at 24 hours and 2.0 +/- 0.4 ng/ml at 48 hours after progesterone administration. By 72 hours after administration, mean serum progesterone concentration was 0.9 +/- 0.2 ng/ml, which was comparable to serum progesterone concentrations prior to injection. The mean half-life of the absorption phase was 0.5 hours (range, 0.3 to 0.7 hours). The mean half-life of elimination was 12.1 hours (range, 9.5 to 13.8 hours). By analysis of the data, it was established that a dosage of 3 mg/kg, when the hormone was given IM to dogs once a day, would maintain serum progesterone concentration greater than 10 ng/ml.  相似文献

Steady-state serum digoxin concentration ([digoxin]) was measured for 48 hours in 6 healthy cats after they were treated with digoxin tablets (0.01 mg/kg of body weight, q 48 h) for 10 days and again after concurrent treatment of identical duration with orally administered digoxin, aspirin (80 mg, q 48 h), furosemide (2 mg/kg, q 12 h), and a commercial low-salt diet. The concurrent treatment substantially altered digoxin pharmacokinetic properties, with a resultant increase in peak (mean +/- SEM; from 2.1 +/- 0.35 to 3.3 +/- 0.6 ng/ml), 8-hour (from 1.4 +/- 0.35 to 2.5 +/- 0.64 ng/ml), and 48-hour mean (from 1.1 +/- 0.22 to 2.2 +/- 0.57 ng/ml) serum [digoxin]; an increase in the number of hours during which serum [digoxin] was in the toxic range (from 3 +/- 1.7 to 24.7 +/- 9.8 h); and a decrease in oral clearance (from 0.15 +/- 0.04 to 0.08 +/- 0.02 L/h.kg). Of these differences, all but the 8-hour serum [digoxin] were significant at P less than 0.05. Similar sampling procedures were performed in 3 cats after administration of digoxin alone (0.01 mg/kg, q 48 h) until steady-state conditions were reached (10 days) and again after an additional 10 days of treatment. Differences were not noticed in digoxin pharmacokinetic properties. Eight-hour serum [digoxin] was shown to correlate closely with the mean serum [digoxin] at steady-state conditions when digoxin was administered every 48 hours. Variation in digoxin pharmacokinetic properties was noticed between cats.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Two experiments were conducted to determine 1) the effect of acute feed deprivation on leptin secretion and 2) if the effect of metabolic fuel restriction on LH and GH secretion is associated with changes in serum leptin concentrations. Experiment (EXP) I, seven crossbred prepuberal gilts, 66 +/- 1 kg body weight (BW) and 130 d of age were used. All pigs were fed ad libitum. On the day of the EXP, feed was removed from four of the pigs at 0800 (time = 0) and pigs remained without feed for 28 hr. Blood samples were collected every 10 min from zero to 4 hr = Period (P) 1, 12 to 16 hr = P 2, and 24 to 28 hr = P 3 after feed removal. At hr 28 fasted animals were presented with feed and blood samples collected for an additional 2 hr = P 4. EXP II, gilts, averaging 140 d of age (n = 15) and which had been ovariectomized, were individually penned in an environmentally controlled building and exposed to a constant ambient temperature of 22 C and 12:12 hr light: dark photoperiod. Pigs were fed daily at 0700 hr. Gilts were randomly assigned to the following treatments: saline (S, n = 7), 100 (n = 4), or 300 (n = 4) mg/kg BW of 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2DG), a competitive inhibitor of glycolysis, in saline iv. Blood samples were collected every 15 min for 2 hr before and 5 hr after treatment. Blood samples from EXP I and II were assayed for LH, GH and leptin by RIA. Selected samples were quantified for glucose, insulin and free fatty acids (FFA). In EXP I, fasting reduced (P < 0.04) leptin pulse frequency by P 3. Plasma glucose concentrations were reduced (P < 0.02) throughout the fast compared to fed animals, where as serum insulin concentrations did not decrease (P < 0.02) until P 3. Serum FFA concentrations increased (P < 0.02) by P 2 and remained elevated. Subcutaneous back fat thickness was similar among pigs. Serum IGF-I concentration decreased (P < 0.01) by P 2 in fasted animals compared to fed animals and remained lower through periods 3 and 4. Serum LH and GH concentrations were not effected by fast. Realimentation resulted in a marked increase in serum glucose (P < 0.02), insulin (P < 0.02), serum GH (P < 0.01) concentrations and leptin pulse frequency (P < 0.01). EXP II treatment did not alter serum insulin levels but increased (P < 0.01) plasma glucose concentrations in the 300 mg 2DG group. Serum leptin concentrations were 4.0 +/- 0.1, 2.8 +/- 0.2, and 4.9 +/- 0.2 ng/ml for S, 100 and 300 mg 2DG pigs respectively, prior to treatment and remained unchanged following treatment. Serum IGF-I concentrations were not effected by treatment. The 300 mg dose of 2DG increased (P < 0.0001) mean GH concentrations (2.0 +/- 0.2 ng/ml) compared to S (0.8 +/- 0.2 ng/ml) and 100 mg 2DG (0.7 +/- 0.2 ng/ml). Frequency and amplitude of GH pulses were unaffected. However, number of LH pulses/5 hr were decreased (P < 0.01) by the 300 mg dose of 2DG (1.8 +/- 0.5) compared to S (4.0 +/- 0.4) and the 100 mg dose of 2DG (4.5 +/- 0.5). Mean serum LH concentrations and amplitude of LH pulses were unaffected. These results suggest that acute effects of energy deprivation on LH and GH secretion are independent of changes in serum leptin concentrations.  相似文献

The pharmacokinetics and bioavailability of rifampin were determined after IV (10 mg/kg of body weight) and intragastric (20 mg/kg of body weight) administration to 6 healthy, adult horses. After IV administration, the disposition kinetics of rifampin were best described by a 2-compartment open model. A rapid distribution phase was followed by a slower elimination phase, with a half-life (t1/2[beta]) of 7.27 +/- 1.11 hours. The mean body clearance was 1.49 +/- 0.41 ml/min.kg, and the mean volume of distribution was 932 +/- 292 ml/kg, indicating that rifampin was widely distributed in the body. After intragastric administration of rifampin in aqueous suspension, a brief lag period (0.31 +/- 0.09 hour) was followed by rapid, but incomplete, absorption (t1/2[a] = 0.51 +/- 0.32 hour) and slow elimination (t1/2[d] = 11.50 +/- 1.55 hours). The mean bioavailability (fractional absorption) of the administered dose during the first 24 hours was 53.94 +/- 18.90%, and we estimated that 70.0 +/- 23.6% of the drug would eventually be absorbed. The mean peak plasma rifampin concentration was 13.25 +/- 2.70 micrograms/ml at 2.5 +/- 1.6 hours after dosing. All 6 horses had plasma rifampin concentrations greater than 2 micrograms/ml by 45 minutes after dosing; concentrations greater than 3 micrograms/ml persisted for at least 24 hours. Mean plasma rifampin concentrations at 12 and 24 hours after dosing were 6.86 +/- 1.69 micrograms/ml and 3.83 +/- 0.87 micrograms/ml, respectively. We tested 162 isolates of 16 bacterial species cultured from clinically ill horses for susceptibility to rifampin.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Morphine (M), an opioid agonist, was administered to postpartum (PP) Angus cows to investigate opioid modulation of gonadotropin secretion. In Exp. 1, eight PP cows (36.9 +/- 2.3 d) received either M (1 mg/kg; n = 4) or saline solution (S) (n = 4) via i.v. injection 36 h after calf removal. Morphine decreased (P less than .01) the number of serum LH pulses (3.0 +/- 1.1 pre- vs .3 +/- .3 post-pulses/h) and, compared with pretreatment values (3.3 mg/ml), decreased (P less than .05) mean LH at 105 min (2.1 ng/ml) through 270 min 1.9 ng/ml +/- .4). Serum prolactin (PRL) increased (P less than .01) following M from 16.4 ng/ml to a peak of 59.3 ng/ml (+/- 3.9). Serum FSH concentrations were unaffected. In Exp. 2, M (.31 mg/kg i.v. injection followed by .15 mg/(kg.h) infusion; n = 6) or S (n = 6) treatments were given for 7 h beginning 36 h after calf removal. Serum LH was similar between groups during the pretreatment and the first 6 h of infusion, but M decreased (P less than .001) the number of serum LH pulses (.44 +/- .09 vs .06 +/- .04 pulses/h). Morphine increased (P less than .05) serum PRL. It is concluded that M differentially modulated gonadotropin secretion in the cow such that PRL increased, LH decreased and FSH was unchanged.  相似文献

Two experiments were conducted to determine the minimal effective dose during lactation and site of action of N-methyl-d,l-aspartic acid (NMA) for elicitation of release of luteinizing hormone (LH) in female pigs. In the first experiment, three doses of NMA were given to lactating primiparous sows in which endogenous LH was suppressed by suckling of litters. In the second experiment, ovariectomized gilts were pretreated with estradiol benzoate or porcine antisera against GnRH to suppress LH and then given NMA to determine if it elicited secretion of LH directly at the anterior pituitary or through release of GnRH. In experiment 1, 3 lactating sows (17 +/- 1.5 d postpartum) were each given three doses of NMA (1.5, 3.0 and 5.0 mg/kg body weight [BW]; IV) on 3 consecutive days in a Latin Square design. Blood samples were collected every 10 min from -1 to 1 hr from injection of NMA. NMA at 1.5 and 3.0 mg/kg did not affect (p greater than .5) secretion of LH; however, 5 mg NMA/kg elicited a 114% increase (p less than .001) in circulating levels of LH during 1 hr after treatment. In experiment 2, 8 ovariectomized gilts were given either estradiol benzoate (EB; 10 micrograms/kg BW; IM n = 4) to suppress release of GnRH or porcine antiserum against GnRH (GnRH-Ab; titer 1:8,000; 1 ml/kg BW; IV; n = 4) to neutralize endogenous GnRH. Gilts infused with GnRH-Ab were given a second dose of antiserum 24 hr after the first. Gilts were then given NMA (10 mg/kg BW; IV) 33 hr after EB or initial GnRH-Ab. Blood samples were drawn every 6 hr from -12 to 24 hr from EB or GnRH-Ab treatments, and every 10 min from -2 to 2 hr from NMA. Serum LH declined (p less than .001) after EB (from 1.87 +/- .2 ng/ml at 12 hr before EB to 0.46 +/- .02 ng/ml during 24 hr after EB) and GnRH-Ab (from 1.97 +/- .1 to 0.59 +/- .02 ng/ml). In gilts treated with EB, the area under the curve (AUC) for the LH response (ng.ml-1.min) 1 hr after NMA (38.7 +/- 3) was significantly greater (p less than .01) than the 1 hr prior to NMA (21.3 +/- 1.5). Treatment with NMA had no effect (p greater than .5) on secretion of LH in gilts infused with GnRH-Ab.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)  相似文献

Serum thyroid hormone concentrations were determined before and after thyrotropin (thyroid stimulating hormone [TSH]) stimulation in caged psittacine birds to determine whether the TSH stimulation test could be used to evaluate thyroid function in this class of birds. The mean (+/- SD) resting thyroxine concentrations (ng/ml) for the species studied were: cockatoos, 13.63 +/- 6.53 (n = 6); Amazon parrots, 8.19 +/- 6.90 (n = 8); scarlet macaws, 1.34 +/- 0.51 (n = 9); blue and gold macaws, 3.41 +/- 1.78 (n = 8); African gray parrots, 1.42 +/- 0.44 (n = 6); conures, 1.76 +/- 0.77 (n = 5); and cockatiels, 11.83 +/- 6.76 (n = 3). The mean (+/- SD) thyroxine concentrations (ng/ml) 4 to 6 hours after TSH stimulation were 35.10 +/- 13.16, 27.40 +/- 15.93, 6.46 +/- 3.10, 12.36 +/- 6.34, 9.30 +/- 2.90, 13.50 +/- 7.71, and 39.0 +/- 5.66, respectively. Serum tri-iodothyronine concentration did not increase significantly after TSH stimulation. The results demonstrated that the TSH stimulation test can be used to evaluate thyroid function in caged psittacine birds.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of cyclosporine (2 or 5 mg/kg every 24 hours) on perianal fistulae (PAF) lesions. STUDY DESIGN: Blinded randomized, prospective trial. ANIMALS: Dogs (n = 20) with perianal fistulae. METHODS: Dogs were randomly assigned to administration of either 2 mg/kg (n = 10) or 5 mg/kg (n=10) of cyclosporine orally every 24 hours for 8 weeks. Lesion surface area was measured, lesion severity was graded using a visual analog scale, and the presence and severity of clinical signs recorded every 2 weeks. RESULTS: Lesion variables were significantly reduced in both groups after 8 weeks and owners also reported a reduction in clinical sign severity. The 5 mg/kg dose rate significantly accelerated lesion resolution compared with 2 mg/kg. In the 2 mg/kg group, 20% of dogs had complete resolution of clinical signs and 10% had resolution of lesions. In the 5 mg/kg group, 40% of dogs had complete resolution of clinical signs and 60% had resolution of lesions. CONCLUSIONS: A dose rate of 5 mg/kg every 24 hours was more effective at reducing the surface area and severity of PAF lesions than 2 mg/kg every 24 hours but less effective at resolving PAF lesions than previous studies using dose rates > or =5 mg/kg every 12 hours. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Cyclosporine at 5 mg/kg every 24 hours may be useful for the palliation of PAF lesions.  相似文献

Plasma luteinizing hormone and progesterone concentrations, time to onset of estrus, and pregnancy rates were determined in nonlactating anestrous does given 1 of 4 treatments: subcutaneous ear implants containing 3 mg of norgestomet for 9 days (NOR; n = 6); subcutaneous administration, using osmotic minipumps, of 250 ng of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)/h for 48 hours (GnRH; n = 6); 3 mg of NOR for 9 days, followed immediately by 250 ng of GnRH/h for 48 hours (NOR + GnRH; n = 6); or no treatment (control; n = 6). During the 72-hour period after removal of NOR or insertion of GnRH pumps, 6 of 6, 0 of 6, 6 of 6, and 3 of 6 does were observed in estrus at a mean (+/- 13.8) hours in groups NOR, GnRH, NOR + GnRH, and control, respectively. Time from end of treatment to peak concentrations of luteinizing hormone were 56 +/- 4.0, 28 +/- 4.7, 34 +/- 4.3, and 41 +/- 9.7 hours (mean +/- SE) for NOR, GnRH, NOR +/- GnRH, and control, respectively. Peak concentrations of luteinizing hormone were significantly greater and occurred significantly later in does given NOR. Progesterone concentrations in does that became pregnant increased to concentrations greater than or equal to 1.0 ng/ml 3 to 5 days after breeding and remained high. Functional corpora lutea (CL) was found in 6 does that did not become pregnant, 1 CL was associated with pseudopregnancy and 1 CL was associated with ovulation prior to placement of the GnRH pumps. Functional CL failed to form in 10 of the 12 doses in groups GnRH and control.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine pharmacokinetics of single and multiple doses of rimantadine hydrochloride in horses and to evaluate prophylactic efficacy of rimantadine in influenza virus-infected horses. ANIMALS: 5 clinically normal horses and 8 horses seronegative to influenza A. PROCEDURE: Horses were given rimantadine (7 mg/kg of body weight, i.v., once; 15 mg/kg, p.o., once; 30 mg/kg, p.o., once; and 30 mg/kg, p.o., q 12 h for 4 days) to determine disposition kinetics. Efficacy in induced infections was determined in horses seronegative to influenza virus A2. Rimantadine was administered (30 mg/kg, p.o., q 12 h for 7 days) beginning 12 hours before challenge-exposure to the virus. RESULTS: Estimated mean peak plasma concentration of rimantadine after i.v. administration was 2.0 micrograms/ml, volume of distribution (mean +/- SD) at steady-state (Vdss) was 7.1 +/- 1.7 L/kg, plasma clearance after i.v. administration was 51 +/- 7 ml/min/kg, and beta-phase half-life was 2.0 +/- 0.4 hours. Oral administration of 15 mg of rimantadine/kg yielded peak plasma concentrations of < 50 ng/ml after 3 hours; a single oral administration of 30 mg/kg yielded mean peak plasma concentrations of 500 ng/ml with mean bioavailability (F) of 25%, beta-phase half-life of 2.2 +/- 0.3 hours, and clearance of 340 +/- 255 ml/min/kg. Multiple doses of rimantadine provided steady-state concentrations in plasma with peak and trough concentrations (mean +/- SEM) of 811 +/- 97 and 161 +/- 12 ng/ml, respectively. Rimantadine used prophylactically for induced influenza virus A2 infection was associated with significant decreases in rectal temperature and lung sounds. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Oral administration of rimantadine to horses can safely ameliorate clinical signs of influenza virus infection.  相似文献

The pharmacokinetics of flunixin were studied in 6 adult lactating cattle after administration of single IV and IM doses at 1.1 mg/kg of body weight. A crossover design was used, with route of first administration in each cow determined randomly. Plasma and milk concentrations of total flunixin were determined by use of high-pressure liquid chromatography, using an assay with a lower limit of detection of 50 ng of flunixin/ml. The pharmacokinetics of flunixin were best described by a 2-compartment, open model. After IV administration, mean plasma flunixin concentrations rapidly decreased from initial concentrations of greater than 10 micrograms/ml to nondetectable concentrations at 12 hours after administration. The distribution phase was short (t1/2 alpha, harmonic mean = 0.16 hours) and the elimination phase was more prolonged (t1/2 beta, harmonic mean = 3.14 hours). Mean +/- SD clearance after IV administration was 2.51 +/- 0.96 ml/kg/min. After IM administration, the harmonic mean for the elimination phase (t1/2 beta) was prolonged at 5.20 hours. Bioavailability after IM dosing gave a mean +/- SD (n = 5) of 76.0 +/- 28.0%. Adult, lactating cows (n = 6) were challenge inoculated with endotoxin as a model of acute coliform mastitis. After multiple administration (total of 7 doses; first IV, remainder IM) of 1.1 mg/kg doses of flunixin at 8-hour intervals, plasma flunixin concentrations were approximately 1 microgram/ml at 2 hours after each dosing and 0.5 micrograms/ml just prior to each dosing. Flunixin was not detected in milk at any sampling during the study.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

OBJECTIVES: To determine pharmacokinetics of enrofloxacin and its metabolite ciprofloxacin after a single i.v. and i.m. administration of enrofloxacin and tissue residues after serial daily i.m. administration of enrofloxacin in pigs. ANIMALS: 20 healthy male pigs. PROCEDURE: 8 pigs were used in a crossover design to investigate pharmacokinetics of enrofloxacin after a single i.v. and i.m. administration (2.5 mg/kg of body weight). Twelve pigs were used to study tissue residues; they were given daily doses of enrofloxacin (2.5 mg/kg, i.m. for 3 days). Plasma and tissue concentrations of enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin were determined. Residues of enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin were measured in fat, kidney, liver, and muscle. RESULTS: Mean (+/-SD) elimination half-life and mean residence time of enrofloxacin in plasma were 9.64+/-1.49 and 12.77+/-2.15 hours, respectively, after i.v. administration and 12.06+/-0.68 and 17.15+/-1.04 hours, respectively, after i.m. administration. Half-life at alpha phase of enrofloxacin was 0.23+/-0.05 and 1.94+/-0.70 hours for i.v. and i.m. administration, respectively. Maximal plasma concentration was 1.17 +/-0.23 microg/ml, and interval from injection until maximum concentration was 1.81+/-0.23 hours. Renal and hepatic concentrations of enrofloxacin (0.012 to 0.017 microg/g) persisted for 10 days; however, at that time, ciprofloxacin residues were not detected in other tissues. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Enrofloxacin administered i.m. at a dosage of 2.5 mg/kg for 3 successive days, with a withdrawal time of 10 days, resulted in a sum of concentrations of enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin that were less than the European Union maximal residue limit of 30 ng/g in edible tissues.  相似文献

Serum concentrations of cefepime (BMY-28142) were determined for four dosing regimes, 10 mg/kg or 20 mg/kg, given as single subcutaneous (SC) or intramuscular injections (IM) to dogs. Serial serum samples were analyzed for the presence of cefepime by high-performance liquid chromatography. In experiment 1, the overall mean (+/- SEM) serum concentration (for a 12-hour period) after a dose of 20 mg/kg for SC and IM routes (4.9 +/- 0.74 micrograms/ml and 5.5 +/- 0.63 micrograms/ml, respectively) was twice that for the 10 mg/kg dose given either SC or IM (2.2 +/- 0.31 micrograms/ml and 2.8 +/- 0.47 micrograms/ml, respectively). There was no significant difference (p greater than 0.05) in mean serum concentrations for SC and IM routes of administration at the same dosage. In subsequent experiments, 5 doses of cefepime (20 mg/kg) were administered IM at 12-hour (experiment 2) or 24-hour (experiment 3) intervals. The mean (+/- SEM) peak serum concentration was 12.1 +/- 1.59 micrograms/ml, 2 hours after the 2nd injection in experiment 2. In experiment 3, the mean (+/- SEM) peak serum concentration was 10.9 +/- 1.34 micrograms/ml, 4 hours after the 1st injection. Mean trough concentrations in experiment 2 were greater than or equal to 0.5 microgram/ml and less than or equal to 0.5 in experiment 3. Multiple IM doses produced transient edema at the injection site and mild lameness in all dogs. Cefepime was highly active against single canine isolates of Staphylococcus intermedius, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli, with minimum inhibitory concentrations of 0.125 microgram/ml, 1 microgram/ml and 0.3 microgram/ml, respectively.  相似文献

Oxytetracycline (OTC) concentration in plasma and tissues, plasma pharmacokinetics, depletion from tissue, and toxicity were studied in 30 healthy calves after IM administration of a long-acting OTC preparation (40 mg/kg of body weight) at double the label dosage (20 mg/kg). Plasma OTC concentration increased rapidly after drug administration, and by 2 hours, mean (+/- SD) values were 7.4 +/- 2.6 micrograms/ml, Peak plasma OTC concentration was 9.6 +/- 2.6 micrograms/ml, and the time to peak plasma concentration was 7.6 +/- 4.0 hours. Plasma OTC concentration decreased slowly for 168 hours (elimination phase) after drug administration, and the elimination half-life was 23.9 hours. Plasma OTC concentration exceeded 3.8 micrograms/ml at 48 hours after drug administration. From 168 to 240 hours after drug administration, plasma OTC concentration decreased at a slower rate than that seen during the elimination phase. This slower phase was termed the depletion phase, and the depletion half-life was 280.7 hours. Tissue OTC concentration was highest in kidneys and liver. Lung OTC concentration exceeded 4.4 micrograms/g of tissue and 2.0 micrograms/g of tissue at 12 and 48 hours after drug administration, respectively. The drug persisted the longest in kidneys and liver. At 42 days after drug administration, 0.1 micrograms of OTC/g of kidney was detected. At 49 days after drug administration, all OTC tissue concentrations were below the detectable limit. Reactions and toxicosis after drug administration were limited to an anaphylaxis-like reaction (n = 1) and injection site swellings (n = 2).  相似文献

Dairy goats were given IM injections of 125 micrograms of cloprostenol sodium on day 6 of the estrous cycle (prostaglandin F [PGF] 6, n = 22) or day 12 of the estrous cycle (PGF 12, n = 26). Mean +/- SE hours from injection to onset of behavioral estrus and proportion of goats responding were 46 +/- 4.2 (range, 12 to 88 hours) and 95% and 48 +/- 2.9 (range, 34 to 68 hours) and 100% for groups PGF 6 and PGF 12, respectively. There was no significant difference between the groups in mean time to onset of estrus, but variances about the means were different. Of the does in groups PGF 6 and PGF 12, 67 and 85%, respectively, had signs of onset of estrus between 36 and 60 hours after administration of PGF. Mean (+/- SE) hours from injection to time of peak concentrations of luteinizing hormone (LH) were 62 +/- 3.1 and 64 +/- 2.1 for groups PGF 6 and PGF 12, respectively. Of the does in groups PGF 6 and PGF 12, 86 and 100%, respectively, had LH peaks. Of the does in groups PGF 6 and PGF 12, 68 and 77%, respectively, had peak concentrations of LH between 48 and 72 hours after administration of PGF. All does in groups PGF 6 and PGF 12 had concentrations of progesterone greater than or equal to 1.0 ng/ml on the day of administration of PGF. Concentrations decreased to less than 1.0 ng/ml by 48 hours after injection in all does except 1 in group PGF 6.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

The aim of this study was to characterize the effects of prolonged infusion of growth hormone-releasing factor (1-29)NH2 (GRF) on plasma concentrations of hormones and metabolites when administered to control pigs and pigs immunized against somatostatin (SRIF). In the first experiment, eight purebred Yorkshire boars averaging 113 +/- 2 kg BW were immunized against SRIF conjugated to bovine serum albumin (BSA) (n = 4) or BSA alone (n = 4). Somatotropin (ST) response to four rates of GRF infusion (0, 1.66, 5 and 15 ng/min/kg BW) for 6 hr was evaluated using a double balanced 4 x 4 Latin square design. During the 4 hr before infusion, SRIF-immunized animals tended (P = 0.06) to have a higher ST release (613 vs 316 ng.min/ml, SE = 232) than controls. During infusion, GRF elicited a dose-dependent increase in ST release in both squares; the ST response was not better in SRIF-immunized animals than in controls (P greater than 0.05) (1435 vs 880 ng.min/ml; SE = 597). In the second experiment, ten purebred Yorkshire boars (5 controls and 5 SRIF-immunized animals) averaging 69 +/- 2 kg BW were continuously infused with GRF at the rate of 15 ng/min/kg BW for six consecutive d. Under GRF infusion, ST concentrations increased (P less than 0.05) from 805 to 4768 ng.min/ml (SE = 507) from day 1 to day 6 in both SRIF-immunized and control animals. Prolactin levels increased (P less than 0.05) with GRF infusion; pattern of increase was different (P less than .01) overtime in control and SRIF-immunized animals. Thyroxine levels increased from 2.53 to 3.45 micrograms/dl (SE = 0.16) after six d of infusion. Insulin-like growth factor I was higher (P less than 0.05) before (139 vs 90 ng/ml; SE = 11) and during (222 vs 185 ng/ml; SE = 11) GRF infusion in SRIF-immunized animals. A transient increase (P less than 0.05) in glucose and insulin was observed in both groups. Immunization against SRIF had no effect on blood metabolites; however, GRF infusion increased free fatty acids from 157 to 204 microEq/l (SE = 11) and decreased blood urea nitrogen from 4.1 to 3.5 mmol/l (SE = 0.2) from day 1 to day 6, respectively. In summary, active immunization against SRIF in growing pigs increased ST and IGF-I concentrations. Infusion of GRF continuously raised ST levels with days of infusion without any sign of decrease responsiveness.  相似文献

Fasting for 24 h had no statistically significant effect on cortisol, glucose or testosterone concentrations. A dose of pentobarbitone sodium which induced light anaesthesia resulted in an immediate decrease in cortisol values from 5.0-11.1 ng/ml to 2.2-3.6 ng/ml until waking-this latter event was accompanied by an excessive release of cortisol (up to 16.6 ng/ml). In two out of three goats testosterone concentrations decreased from 4.0-9.0 ng/ml to less than 0.5 ng/ml after pentobarbitone; low values were maintained for 4.5-6 hours. Glucose concentrations were unaffected. Precise doses of pentobarbitone (20 mg/kg or 30 mg/kg) resulted in similar cortisol profiles as above but with higher concentrations achieved upon waking from the higher dose of pentobarbitone. On two out of nine occasions increased PCO2 values were recorded concurrently with increased cortisol concentrations during the period of anaesthesia, suggesting that a sufficiently strong stressful stimulus can break through the pentobarbitone blockade.  相似文献

By inoculating Klebsiella pneumoniae into the teat canals of mammary glands, coliform mastitis was induced experimentally in 6 lactating cows. Release of eicosanoids, histamine, and serotonin in plasma and milk was studied in response to 2 doses of K pneumoniae. A low dose (mean, 5,000 organisms/ml) was inoculated into cows 1 through 4, and a high dose (mean, 200,000 organisms/ml) was inoculated into cows 5 and 6. Milk and blood samples were collected before inoculation (0 hours), and hourly, from 3 to 24 hours after inoculation. Concentrations of prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha), prostaglandin E (PGE), thromboxane B2 (TxB2), histamine, and serotonin were measured in plasma and milk obtained from control (NaCl solution-inoculated) and infected quarters. Fluorometric analysis of milk from infected quarters revealed significantly increased histamine and serotonin concentrations regardless of the dose of K pneumoniae. The mean (+/- SEM) peak concentrations of histamine were significantly (P less than 0.01) increased from the preinoculation value of 44 (+/- 12) ng/ml to 312 (+/- 104) ng/ml in milk from infected quarters and 72 (+/- 24) ng/ml in milk from control quarters. The mean peak concentration of serotonin increased significantly from the preinoculation concentration of 436 (+/- 37) ng/ml to 1,754 (+/- 662) ng/ml and 4,867 (+/- 1,248) ng/ml in milk from control (P less than 0.02) and infected (P less than 0.001) quarters, respectively. However, serotonin concentration in milk from infected quarters was approximately 2.8 times greater than that in milk from control quarters. Concentrations of PGF2 alpha, PGE, and TxB2 in milk and plasma were evaluated by radioimmunoassay.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献
