Intravenous infusions of hydrocortisone sodium succinate (HSS) were given at 0·625 mg kg−1 hour−1 and 0·312 mg kg−1 hour−1 to six dogs. Plasma cortisol concentrations were measured by radioimmunoassay at 0, 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes and then every 30 minutes for a further five hours. Chronic hypocortisolaemia was induced and maintained with mitotane and the HSS infusions were repeated after 31 and 50 days. No statistically significant difference was observed in the plasma cortisol concentrations after either period of hypocortisolaemia, but the plasma cortisol concentrations tended to be higher in most of the dogs.  相似文献

Fluconazole (100 mg) was administered to six adult cats as an intravenous infusion over 30 minutes, and the same cats received 100 mg of the drug orally 16 weeks later. The cats were bled repeatedly through an indwelling jugular catheter, the plasma fluconazole concentrations were assayed by high performance liquid chromatography, and the concentration-time data were subjected to a non-compartmental pharmacokinetic analysis. The mean (SD) intravenous half-life (13·8 [2·6] hours) was similar to that observed after oral dosing (12·4 [3·0] hours). The plasma clearances (intravenous 0·9 [0·1], oral 0·9 [0·2] ml min−1 kg−1) and the volumes of distribution at steady state (intravenous 1·1 [0·1], oral 1·0 [0·1] litre kg−1) were also similar after the two routes of dosing. The peak plasma concentration was reached 2·6 hours after oral dosing and the drug was completely bioavailable (1·09 [0·05]). On the basis of this single dose study, the administration of 50 mg fluconazole every eight hours to a 4 kg cat should produce average steady state plasma fluconazole concentrations of approximately 33 mg litre−1.  相似文献

The influence of training on blood lactate concentrations during treadmill exercise and a 40-minute inactive recovery period was examined in seven trained and seven detrained thorough-bred horses. Lactate concentrations were measured in venous blood collected at the end of each exercise state, and at intervals for 40 minutes afterwards. Measurements were made of maximum oxygen uptake (V̇O2max, ml kg−1 min−1), VLA4 (velocity at which blood lactate concentration was 4 mmol litre−1); LA8 (lactate concentration [mmol litre−1] during exercise at 8 m sec−1), peak lactate (highest lactate concentration after exercise), LA40 (lactate concentration 40 minutes after exercise), the time of peak lactate concentration (minutes after exercise) and the rate of disappearance of blood lactate (Rtd). The trained horses had a significantly lower LA8 (2·1 ± 0·1 vs 6·5 ± 1 mmol litre−1, P<0·01), higher VLA4 (9·8 ± 0·2 vs 5·8 ± 0·6 m sec−1, P<0·01) and higher V̇02max (156·3 ± 3·8 vs 107·1 ± 3·9 ml kg−1 min−1, P<0·001). The value of Rtd and the time of peak lactate concentration were not significantly different.  相似文献

The effect of dietary chloride content (0·2, 0·4 and 1·3 per cent chloride on a dry matter basis) on the disposition of a single oral dose of bromide (14 mg kg−1 was evaluated in normal beagles. Increasing the dietary chloride content from 0·2 to 1·3 per cent resulted in a significant decrease in the mean apparent elimination half-life from 69 ± 22 days to 24 ± 7 days. The mean area under the concentration curve ( ) for dogs fed 1·3 per cent chloride was significantly smaller than the for dogs fed 0·2 per cent chloride. Dietary chloride had no effect on the maximum serum concentrations (Cmax) or on the time (Tmax) to reach the maximum concentrations. The steady-state serum bromide concentrations predicted from the single dose data for daily doses of 14 mg kg−1 of bromide were significantly lower in dogs fed 1·3 per cent chloride (310 ± 150 mg litre−1) than in dogs fed 0·2 per cent chloride (1950 ± 1140 mg litre−1). The predicted mean daily doses of bromide necessary to maintain serum levels within the therapeutic range for dogs fed 1·3 per cent chloride (43 ± 13 mg kg−1) were almost twice as high as the dose estimated for dogs fed 0·4 per cent chloride (22 ± 3 mg kg−1) and nearly three times as high as the dose estimated for dogs fed 0·2 per cent chloride (15 ± 4 mg kg−l). These differences were statistically significant (P=0·002).  相似文献

In an open, controlled, multi-centre clinical field trial, seven ‘naturally occurring’ outbreaks of acutefebrile (rectal temperature ≥ 39·5°C) respiratory disease in housed calves were treated with a single antimicrobial agent, and either the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) carprofen (n=95) or flunixin meghunine (n=92) on an alternate basis. Carprofen was administered as a single subcutaneous injection at a mean dosage of 1·4 mg kg−1 (range 1·2 to 1·9 mg kg−1) body weight on the first day and flunixin meglumine by intravenous injection at a mean dosage of 2·0 mg kg−1 (range 1·2 to 2·6 mg kg−1) body weight on the first 3 consecutive days. All calves were examined clinically immediately prior to initial treatment and on three occasions up to 1 week after the end of treatment. There were no statistically significant differences between NSAID groups in reduction of clinical parameters between examinations, or in overall efficacy. This trial demonstrated that a single dose of carprofen was equally effective as three daily closes of flunixin meglumine as adjunctive therapy to antimicrobial treatment in acute respiratory disease in calves.  相似文献

The pharmokinetic properties of amoxycillin, and its penetration into respiratory tract tissue, were determined in 18 Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae infected pigs, after a single i.v. dose of 8·6 mg amoxycillin kg−1 bodyweight. Pleuropneumoniae was produced experimentally in pigs by an aerosol infection model. The infection created a homogenous response, characterised by depression of breathing and increased body temperature. The clinical symptoms were accompanied by increased haptoglobin levels and circulating white blood cell counts. At necropsy the findings were characterised by a bilateral fibrinous pleuropneumonia. Twenty hours after infection, the pigs were administered amoxycillin i.v. The plasma concentration-time curve was described by a three compartment open model. The mean residence time and the elimination half-life were l·5 and 3·4 hours, respectively. The steady-state volume of distribution was 0·67 litres kgl, and the clearance was 0·46 litres kg−1 hour−1. There were no significant differences between these values and those reported previously for healthy pigs. The concentration of amoxycillin in bronchial secretions, lung tissue and diseased lung tissue peaked two hours after intravenous drug administration, while amoxycillin concentration in pleural fluid, lymph nodes and tonsil tissue peaked at the first sampling point one hour after drug administration. The concentration of amoxycillin in secretions and tissue decreased by a slower rate than amoxycillin concentration in plasma, resulting in an increasing tissue-to-plasma concentration ratio. The distribution ratios (AUCtissue/JAUCplasma) was 0·53 for bronchial secretions, 0·44 for pneumonic lung tissue, 0·42 for lung tissue, 1·04 for pleural fluid, 0·58 for lymph nodes and 0·37 for tonsil tissue. The distribution of amoxycillin to secretions was increased compared with that previously reported for healthy pigs, while only minor changes were observed in lung tissue.  相似文献

High muscle camosine and anserine contents contribute significantly to intra-cellular physico-chemical buffering. Our aim was to measure carnosine, anserine and taurine contents directly in individual type I, HA and IIB fibres from the middle gluteus muscle of the camel. Mean carnosine contents in type I, IIA and IIB were 24·6 ±9·2, 39·4 ±11·4 and 42·8 ±18·8 mmol kg−1 dry weight (dw), respectively. Mean anserine contents in type I, HA and IIB fibres were 30·0 ±8·4, 37·3 ±10·1 and 34·5 ±9·7 mmol kg−1 dw, respectively. Mean taurine contents in type I, IIA and HB fibres were 42·4 ±15-9, 203 ±12·9 and 24·7 ±15·9 mmol kg−1 dw, respectively. Higher carnosine contents in type II fibres emphasise the importance of carnosine to intra-muscular acid-base regulation. A specific role for taurine in type I fibres is unclear.  相似文献

Ureaplasma species were isolated from semen samples collected sequentially from one Awassi and three Assaf breeding rams. Each ram was injected subcutaneously with an aqueous solution of lincomycin and spectinomycin for five consecutive days at a dose equivalent to 4·5 mg kg−1 lincomycin and 9·0 mg kg−1 spectinomycin daily. Serum and semen samples were collected at intervals during the treatment and assayed for lincomycin. No Ureaplasma species were isolated from semen samples collected during the course of the treatment and at intervals for 17 days after the last treatment. The concentration of lincomycin in semen ranged from 0·51 μg ml−1 four hours after treatment to 0·08 μg ml−1 24 hours after treatment, and these levels were three to nine times higher than the corresponding serum concentrations.  相似文献

These studies were undertaken to examine the systemic and renal effects of the pharmacological inhibition of endothelium-derived nitric oxide (EDNO) in cats. In six healthy cats, the intravenous infusion of nitro-L-arginine at a dose of 100 μg kg−1 bodyweight min−1 resulted in a marked increase (P<0·001) in mean arterial pressure from the control value of 116·7 ± 4·6 mmHg to 154·2 ± 6·8 mmHg and an increase (P<0·05) in renal vascular resistance from the control value of 3·69 ± 0·33 mmHg min ml−1 to 6·83 ± 1·15 mmHg min ml−1. The increase in renal vascular resistance was generalised, with comparable increments in preglomerular and postglomerular vascular resistance. Mean values for glomerular capillary pressure (61·1 ± 61·9 vs 1·9 ± 1·6 mmHg), calculated from the sum of arterial colloid osmotic pressure plus proximal tubule stop-flow pressure, did not change in response to the infusion of nitro-L-arginine. However, there was a marked reduction in renal blood flow (29·4 ± 3·1 to 16·9 ± 2·3 ml min−1, P<0·01) and glomerular filtration rate (5·22 ± 0·57 to 3·52 ± 0·45 ml min−1, P<0·01). These results provide evidence that EDNO plays an important role in the basal regulation of systemic arterial blood pressure and renal haemodynamics in cats.  相似文献

The study investigated rumen dry matter (DM) degradability characteristics in a completely randomized design and the effects of milk, sweet potato foliage (SPF) from three cultivars (A = TIS-87/0087; B = TIS-8164; C = TIS-2532.OP.1.13), dried brewers' grains (DBG) and cottonseed meal (CSM) as supplements to Panicum maximum (Panicum) for pre-weaned calves in randomized complete block designs. Diet 1 = milk + SPF-A foliage + Panicum, Diet 2 = milk + SPF-B foliage + Panicum, Diet 3 = milk + SPF-C foliage + Panicum, and Diet 4 = milk + DBG & CSM + Panicum (as control). Dry matter (130 ± 0.4 to 864 ± 3.9 g kg− 1), ash (54 ± 4.2 to 173 ± 2.8 g kg− 1 DM), OM (827 ± 4.2 to 946 ± 5.7 g kg− 1 DM), N (7.4 ± 0.6 to 38.6 ± 1.4 g kg− 1 DM), and NDF (439 ± 1.4 to 774 ± 8.5 g kg− 1 DM) contents were highly significant (P < 0.01). In Trial I, 16 pre-weaned calves were used over 70 d with milk intake (34.8 ± 4.4 ml kg W− 0.75 d− 1), Panicum DMI (22.3 ± 2.77 g kg W− 0.75 d− 1), total DMI (35.7 ± 2.83 g kg W− 0.75 d− 1), and LWG (198 ± 44.6 g d− 1) not significantly different (P > 0.05). Supplement DMI varied (P < 0.05) from 11.6 g kg W− 0.75 d− 1 in Diet 3 to 16.6 g kg W− 0.75 d− 1 in Diet 4. In Trial II, 16 pre-weaned local and crossbred calves were involved over 77 d with initial age of calves, Panicum intake, metabolic DMI, and LWG similar (P > 0.05) among crosses. Birthweight varied (P < 0.05) from 17.3 kg for N'Dama × Jersey crosses to 21.2 kg for White Fulani × Brown Swiss crosses. Supplement and total DMI ranged (P < 0.05) from 172 to 483 g d− 1 for N'Dama × Jersey crosses to 233 and 674 g d− 1 for non-inseminate or purebred calves, respectively. The LWG in the White Fulani × Brown Swiss and the N'Dama × Jersey calves were respectively 30% and 24% better, though not significantly, than purebred calves. In Trial III, rumen DM degradability characteristics of feeds in three N'Dama steers showed no significant differences (P > 0.05) in slowly degradable fraction (b) and rate of degradation of b (c). Soluble fraction (a), 48-h degradation, potential degradability (PD) and effective degradability (ED) varied significantly (P < 0.05) and were lowest in Panicum, but similar for foliage among the three sweet potato cultivars. Panicum fodder showed improvements in degradation characteristics with supplementation.  相似文献

Low capacity, high affinity [3H] dexamethasone binding receptors were identified in cytosolic preparations of liver (mean number 45±10·1 fmol mg−1 protein, apparent dissociation constant 0·4±0·1 nM) and skin (mean number 46·4±23·8 fmol mg−1 protein, apparent dissociation constant 1 ± 0·2 nM) of clinically normal dogs. For clinically normal cats, approximately half these numbers of receptors with a lower affinity, were detected in liver (mean number 23·1±10·4 fmol mg−1 protein, apparent dissociation constant 3·2±0·9 nM) and skin (mean number 23·90±10·9 fmol mg−1 protein, apparent dissociation constant 2·2±1·5 nM). This difference between dogs and cats in [3H] dexamethasone binding receptors may contribute to the relative glucocorticoid resistance observed in cats.  相似文献

The pharmacokinetics of orphenadrine (ORPH) following a single intravenous (i.v.) dose was investigated in six camels (Camelus dormedarius). Orphenadrine was extracted from the plasma using a simple sensitive liquid–liquid extraction method and determined by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Following i.v. administration plasma concentrations of ORPH decline bi-exponentially with distribution half-life (t1/2α) of 0.50 ± 0.07 h, elimination half-life (t1/2β) of 3.57 ± 0.55 h, area under the time concentration curve (AUC) of 1.03 ± 0.10 g/h l−1. The volume of distribution at steady state (Vdss) 1.92 ± 0.22 l kg−1, volume of the central compartment of the two compartment pharmacokinetic model (Vc) 0.87 ± 0.09 l kg−1, and total body clearance (ClT) of 0.60 ± 0.09 l/h kg−1. Three orphenadrine metabolites were identified in urine samples of camels. The first metabolite N-desmethyl-orphenadrine resulted from N-dealkylation of ORPH with molecular ion m/z 255. The second N,N-didesmethyl-orphenadrine, resulted from N-didesmethylation with molecular ion m/z 241. The third metabolite, hydroxyl-orphenadrine, resulted from the hydroxylation of ORPH with molecular ion m/z 285. ORPH and its metabolites in camel were extensively eliminated in conjugated form. ORPH remains detectable in camel urine for three days after i.v. administration of a single dose of 350 mg orphenadrine aspartate.  相似文献

The effects of feeding diets with different milliequivalents (mEq) of dietary ([Na+ + K+] − [Cl− + SO4=]) to dairy cows during the last seven weeks of pregnancy on bone morphology at parturition were studied. Nine monozygotic twin pairs of pregnant cows (five pairs of parity 1 or 2 and four pairs of parity 3 or more) were allocated to two diets which were formulated to provide either −4 mEq (anion diet) or +572·5 mEq (cation diet) of ([Na+ + K+] − [Cl− + SO4=]) kg−1 dietary dry matter. Bone biopsies were taken from the tuber coxae between three and eight hours after parturition. The plasma concentrations of calcium and inorganic phosphorus, the total plasma alkaline phosphatase activity and the urinary hydroxyproline:creatinine ratio were not significantly affected by diet during the experimental period. In low parity (2 or less) cows the percentage trabecular bone volume, the percentage osteoclast surface and the mean number of osteoclasts per microscopic field (identified by Goldner staining) were lower on the anion diet than on the cation diet (P<0-02). In the high parity cows, the percentage osteoid volume (P<0·05) and the ratio of percentage osteoid volume to percentage osteoid surface (P<0·001) were greater in the cows fed the anion diet than in the cows fed the cation diet. The results show that reducing the mEq of dietary ([Na+ + K+] − [Cl− + SO4=]) to −4 mEq kg−1 dietary dry matter affected some of the parameters of bone formation but did not enhance bone resorption.  相似文献

Gentamycin sulphate ( ) and gentamycin oleate ( ) were encapsulated in liposomes composed of phosphatidylcholine ( ) and cholesterol ( ) (molar ratio 7:7:2 and 5:5:l, respectively), and were administered via intramuscular injection to rabbits, to evaluate their potential use as sustained release formulations. Five groups of five animals each were used for the pharmacokinetic study, and treatments were established as follows: 3 mg kg−1 of i.v., 3 mg kg−1 of i.m., 3 mg kg−1 of liposome-containing gentamycin sulphate ( ) i.m., 3 mg kg−1 of i.m., and 3 mg kg−1 of liposome-containing gentamycin oleate ( ) i.m. Gentamycin plasma concentrations after i.m. administration of LGS were extremely low compared with those obtained after the i.m. administration of ; the peak plasma concentration ( max) showed an eight-fold decrease with , and the area under the concentration-time curve ( ) was four-fold lower for the liposomal form. The apparent elimination half-life estimated after administration of showed a three-fold increase compared with values calculated for free . After the administration of the same dose of , max obtained showed a 2·5-fold decrease in relation to peak concentrations of free , and the apparent β-half life of encapsulated showed a three-fold increase compared with i.m. . Large-size liposomes containing gentamycin administered i.m. to rabbits gave sustained drug release from the injection site, providing prolonged plasma concentrations of the drug in the body.  相似文献

The dose response relationship for the intermediateacting non-depolarising muscle relaxant, atracurium besylate in the pig was determined using evoked electromyography. An incremental dose technique was used in seven Large White/Landrace crossbred pigs anaesthetised with nitrous oxide and halothane. ED50 and ED95 were 510 ± 87 μg kg−1 and 1150 ± 270 μg kg−1, respectively. Although these values may represent an overestimate, they provide a reasonable guideline for the use of atracurium by veterinary anaesthetists.  相似文献

The amelioration of aflatoxicosis in Japanese quails was examined by the dietary addition of live yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae; SCE). Yeast incorporated into the diet at 1 g kg−1was evaluated for its ability to reduce the deleterious effects of 2·5 mg total aflatoxin ( ; 82·30 per cent 1 , 2·06 per cent 2, 7·68 per cent 1and 7·96 per cent 2) kg−1diet on growing Japanese quail chicks from 10 days to 45 days of age. Forty 10-day-old Japanese quail chicks were assigned to 2×2 factorial arrangement of treatments (control, , , plus ) each consisting of 10 quails. The performances of birds were evaluated. The treatment significantly and dramatically decreased food consumption and body-weight gain from the first week onwards. The significant adverse effect of on the food conversion ratio was also determined from week 1 to the end of the experiments. The addition of to the -containing diet significantly reduced these deleterious effects of on food consumption, body-weight gain and food conversion ratio. Compared to controls, the cumulative body weight gain was reduced by 37 per cent among the quails consuming without , but increased 15 per cent for the birds fed plus . Interestingly, the single inclusion of to the -free diet provided significant improvements in all the investigated growth performances of birds (approximately 40 per cent) compared to controls.  相似文献

To study the inverse relationship between feed level and concentrations of peripheral plasma progesterone, 36 ovariectomised ewes were fed rations at levels calculated to maintain liveweight (M). On the seventh day, the ewes were given an intravenous infusion of progesterone and the metabolic clearance rate (MCR) was calculated. The ewes were then randomly allotted to receive either , M or 2M rations for seven days at which time the infusion and blood sampling schedules were repeated. The mean (SE) MCR of infused progesterone in ovariectomised ewes fed either , M or 2M rations for seven days was 7·1 (0·59), 9·9 (1·64 and 13·0 (1·19) litre h−1 kg−1 of liveweight, respectively. Differences in MCR of progesterone between ewes fed and 2M rations were significant (P<0·05). The inverse relationship between level of feed intake and plasma progesterone concentration was attributed to differences in clearance rate of progesterone rather than to changes in the entry rate of the hormone into the blood.  相似文献

Six veal calves were medicated with clenbuterol at 20 μg kg bodyweight−1 day−1 for 42 days before they were slaughtered, to evaluate the lesions and residues in target organs. Compared with six unmedicated calves the most noticeable changes were tracheal dilatation, decreased uterine weight, slight mucous hypersecretion in the uterus and vagina and depletion of liver glycogen. The highest concentrations of clenbuterol (62 to 128 ng/g−1) were recorded in the choroid/retina, and the aqueous humour had the lowest concentration (0·5 to 2·4 ng ml−1). The residue concentrations were higher than the maximum residue level set for clenbuterol (0·5 ng g−1)  相似文献

This study characterised the peripheral plasma concentration of PSP-60 throughout gestation, and examined the effect of stage of gestation and foetal number on this protein in Holstein cows after non-surgical embryo transfer. Cows (n=12) were divided into two groups; Group 1 contained single embryo recipient cows (n=5), Group 2 contained twin-embryo recipient cows (n=7). Blood was collected approximately every third day from day 0 (first day of standing oestrus), then daily for the last 10 days of gestation and until one day post-partum. Two of the twin-embryo recipient cows had abnormal pregnancies, consequently data from them was considered separately. In both groups PSP-60 increased progressively from about day 20 post-oestrus to 20 days pre-partum (from 0·9 ± 0·2 to 49·7 ± 8·7 ng ml−1, and from 1·3 ± 0·6 to 115 ± 34·9 ng ml−1 (mean ± SEM), in singleton and twin-bearing groups, respectively). The mean concentrations between 20 and 10 days pre-partum increased dramatically by about six-fold (P<0·001) in singleton-bearing cows (from 49·7 ± 8·7 ng ml−1 to 2838 ± 73·7 ng ml−1) to over two-fold in twin-bearing cows (from 115 ± 34·9 ng ml−1 to 284 ± 98·2 ng ml-1). The mean concentrations of the two groups were indistinguishable between 10 days pre-parturn and parturition. Cows giving birth prematurely to stillborn calves or to a schistosomus reflexus calf exhibited abnormal PSP-60 profiles. Our findings indicate that peripheral plasma PSP-60 concentrations are correlated to the stage of gestation and foetal number, and assist in predicting foeto-placental viability.  相似文献

The systemic haemodynamic and acid-base effects of the administration of phenylbutazone (4·4 mg kg−1 intravenously) to standing and running horses were investigated. Phenylbutazone, or a placebo, was administered to each of six mares either 15 minutes before, or after 30 minutes of a 60-minute submaximal exercise test which elicited heart rates approximately 55 per cent of maximal, and to the same horses at rest. The variables examined included the cardiac output, heart rate, systemic and pulmonary arterial pressures, right atrial and right ventricular pressures, and arterial and mixed venous blood gases and pH. Serum sodium, potassium and chloride concentrations, and plasma thromboxane B2, 6-keto-prostaglandin F1α (6-keto-PGF1α), and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) concentrations were measured in separate studies using similar protocols in the same horses. Running produced increases in heart rate, cardiac output, mean arterial and right ventricular pressure, and decreases in total peripheral resistance. The acid:base responses to exertion were characterised by respiratory alkalosis. Exertion did not significantly influence plasma 6-keto-PGF1α or PGE2 concentrations but plasma thromboxane B2 concentrations were increased significantly by 60 minutes of exertion in the untreated horses. This exercise-induced increase in plasma thromboxane B2 concentration was inhibited by the previous administration of phenylbutazone, but phenylbutazone did not produce detectable changes in systemic haemodynamic or acid-base variables in either standing or running horses.  相似文献
