The synthetic androgen 19-nortestosterone (-NT) has been used illegally as a growth promoter in cattle production in the European Union. Elimination of -NT and its metabolites in plasma, urine and bile was studied in three cattle with cannulated gallbladders following intramuscular injection at a single site of 500 mg of the laurate ester (NTL) containing 300.5 mg -NT. Using enzyme immunoassay quantification, plasma Cmax of free -NT was 0.5±0.15 g/L (mean±SEM). Concentrations of free -NT in plasma were consistently greater than the assay limit of quantification (0.12 g/L) for 32.7±13.42 days. Mean residence time for free -NT in plasma was 68.5±20.75 days. Following sample preparation by immunoaffinity chromatography, high-resolution GC-MS was used to quantify -NT and -NT in urine and bile. -NT was detected irregularly in urine from two of the three animals post injection. The principal metabolite present in the urine, -NT, was detected for 160.3±22.67 days post injection. Cmax for -NT in urine was 13.7±5.14 g/L. Mean urinary AUC0–183 days for -NT was 845.7±400.90 (g h)/L.In bile, -NT was the only metabolite detected for 174.3±8.67 days post treatment. Cmax for -NT in bile was 40.8±12.70 g/L and mean biliary AUC0–183 days for -NT was 1982.6±373.81 (g h)/L. Concentrations of -NT in bile samples were greater than those in urine samples taken at the same time. The mean ratio of biliary:urinary AUC0–183 days was 3.0±0.72. It is concluded that bile is a superior fluid for detection of -NT following injection of NTL, owing to the longer period during which residues may be detected after administration.  相似文献

With electromyography and strain gauges the uterine motility of the sow during the oestrous cycle and early pregnancy was studied. Special attention was paid to characterization of myometrial activity at the time of intrauterine migration of blastocysts.From recordings of 4 animals (3 became pregnant) 3 types of electrical spiking activity (each could be correlated with an elevation of the strain gauge tension) were discerned. Two of them appeared regularly and were suitable for analysis: High Voltage Slow Acticity (with relative high amplitude and low frequency of spikes) and Low Voltage Fast Activity (with relative low aplitude and high frequency of spikes).The sexual status markedly influenced myometrial activity: during prooestrus and oestrus only one type of electrical activity was present whereas the myoelectrical complex (an episode of this activity and the subsequent interval of inactivity) was shorter than 10 min. During dioestrus the myoelectrical complex was longer than 10 min and High Voltage Slow Activity (solely on the cervix and bifurcation) and Low Voltage Fast Activity occurred simultaneously in episodes which mainly appeared to originate on the bifurcation.The characteristics of uterine activity during pregnancy were similar to those of a cyclic sow until day 12. It was only on day 12 that gestation appeared from an increased frequency of myoelectrical complexes.It is concluded that Low Voltage Fast Activity as it was found on the uterine horn at days 8–9 might be involved in the process of intra-uterine migration of blastocysts. In cyclic and in pregnant animals the patterns of Low Voltage Fast Activity were similar. Therefore, the occurrence of Low Voltage Fast Activity is independent of the actual presence of blastocysts. It seems to be exhibited in dependence on the ovarian hormones.  相似文献

The purpose of the present investigation was to test the hypothesis that drug-induced changes in rumen contractions influence feed intake in dwarf goats. Intravenous (i.v.) administration of clonidine (1 g kg-1 min-1 for 10 min), xylazine (1 g kg-1 min-1 for 10 min), and PGF-2 (10 g kg-1 min-1 for 15 min) caused bradycardia and inhibition of rumen contractions. However, no appetite-stimulating effect of these drugs was observed. Other clinical changes induced by the 2-adrenergic agonists included slight sedation and a decrease in body temperature; all clinical effects of clonidine and xylazine were partly antagonized by tolazoline pretreatment (10 g kg-1 min-1 for 30 min). These results suggest that the CNS control of feeding differs in ruminants and monogastric species.In dwarf goats fasted for 2 h, i.v. administration of oxytocin (0.01 IU kg-1 min-1 for 15 min), vasopressin (0.01 IU kg-1 min-1 for 15 min), octapressin (0.003 IU kg-1 min-1 for 15 min) or PGE (0.8 g kg-1 min-1 for 15 min) did not change feeding behaviour during the two observation periods (0–30 min and 180–210 min after drug infusion, respectively). In previous studies, similar doses of these drugs induced changes in heart rate and inhibition of rumen contraction in goats. These findings demonstrate that drug-induced changes in forestomach contractions do not simply cause changes in feeding behaviour. The i.v. infusion of the PGF2 analogues etiproston (10 g kg-1 min-1 for 15 min), luprostiol (30 g kg-1 min-1 for 15 min), cloprostenol (1 g kg-1 min-1 for 15 min) and tiaprost (1 g kg-1 min-1 for 15 min) induced hypophagic effects and stimulated intestinal propulsion.  相似文献

A review of the literature on intestinal atresia of domestic animal species and humans was done. The 5 types of intestinal occlusions described in human infants are atresia type 1, atresia type 2, atresia type 3, stenosis, and the apple peel or Christmas tree deformity. The intestinal defects described in domestic animal species such as the bovine, equine and porcine are similar to those of human infants. The T-formation, an intestinal defect of the bovine resembling atresia type 3, and rectal stricture, an acquired intestinal defect of the porcine resembling stenosis, were described recently. Intestinal atresia is similar in several species and these similarities raise the questions as to whether the pathogenic mechanism and possibly etiologies of intestinal atresia are similar in these species.  相似文献

The effect of endotoxin induced fever on the steady state concentration of sulphadimethoxine in pigs has been studied.Sulphadimethoxine 20 mg/kg b.wt. was injected at 9 a.m. in an ear vein each day for eleven days. From day 6 until the end of the experiment, endotoxin fromEscherichia coli 1.5 g/kg b.wt. was injected at 9 a.m. and at 3 p.m. The plasma concentration versus time curves were calculated by means of a computer program, assuming a two-compartment model. During the endotoxin injections the plasma concentrations were simulated and compared with those calculated.It was not possible to show any clinically significant changes in pharmacokinetics of sulphadimethoxine after the start of endotoxin injections.  相似文献

The pharmacokinetics of sulphadimidine after a single dose (200 mg/kg i.v.) was studied in five healthy lactating buffaloes. The study revealed that the drug attained its peak concentration of 314.0±13.0, 242.4±3.0 and 100.2±2.5 g/ml at 15 min, 30 min and 12 h in plasma, milk and uterine fluid, respectively. The pharmacokinetic parameters calculated by a 2-compartment open model gave values for t1, t1 and vdarea of 2.10±0.36 h, 12.36±0.57 h and 1.23±0.07 L/Kg, respectively. A high vdarea as well as a value of 0.74±0.08 for K12:K21- (tissue Plasma) indicates better penetration of the drug into the different body fluids and tissues, which is further supported by a high concentration obtained in milk and uterine fluid. The therapeutic concentration (50 g/ml) was maintained for around 24 h in plasma and milk and 12 h in uterine fluid. The results suggest that, apart from its use in systemic infections, the drug can be effectively used by the i.v. route in uterine and mammary gland infections. The dosages for maintaining concentration of 50 g/ml, 100 g/ml and 150 g/ml at convenient dosage intervals of 12 and 24 h were also determined.  相似文献

Pathogenic mechanisms of caprine arthritis-encephalitis virus   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
Goats infected with caprine arthritis-encephalitis virus (CAEV) show chronic arthritis and cachexia, which are progressive in nature. The immunopathogenic mechanisms responsible for these progressive clinical symptoms have not been fully elucidated. Various haematological and immunological parameters were evaluated in experimentally-infected goats showing typical signs of CAEV-induced disease. Infected goats showed recurrent lymphocytosis that may be due to constant presentation of antigen by infected cells of a monocyte/macrophage lineage. The serum alkaline phosphatase and -glutamyl transferase concentrations were elevated in infected goats, a characteristic of hepatic and bone disorders. All other serum chemistry parameters were similar between infected and control goats. Importantly, the serum tumour necrosis factor- (TNF-) levels were higher in infected goats. The cachexia seen in infected goats may be at least partly due to altered metabolism as a result of prolonged elevation of serum TNF- levels. Depressed natural killer cell activity was observed in infected goats and may contribute towards the establishment of a persistent infection with CAEV.Abbreviations AIDS acquired immunodeficiency syndrome - CAEV caprine arthritis-encephalitis virus - GGT -glutamyl transferase - HBSS Hanks' balanced salt solution - HIV human immunodeficiency virus - NK natural killer - PBMC peripheral blood mononuclear cells - PCR polymerase chain reaction - SAP serum alkaline phosphatase - TNF tumour necrosis factor  相似文献

Serum fructosamine concentrations were measured in 11 untreated hypothyroid dogs with normal serum glucose and serum protein concentrations. The fructosamine level ranged between 276 and 441 mol/L (median 376 mol/L; reference range 207–340 mol/L). Nine of the 11 dogs had fructosamine levels above the reference range. The fructosamine levels decreased significantly during treatment with levothyroxine. It is suggested that serum fructosamine concentrations may be high in hypothyroid dogs because of decelerated protein turnover, independent of the blood glucose concentration.  相似文献

Seven lambs were fed a mixture of bog plants containing 15 g (wet matter)Narthecium ossifragum per kg live weight for 10 consecutive days. Their serum creatinine concentration increased from day 1 to 4 but then fell to normal by day 6 after feeding started. In the same animals, the serum magnesium concentration was increased on days 3, 4 and 5. Histopathological examination of the kidneys of 2 lambs killed after being fed 25 gN. ossifragum per kg live weight for one day revealed tubular epithelial cell degeneration and necrosis. There were no signs of disease or distress in the experimental animals and their appetite remained normal throughout the experimental period. It was concluded thatN. ossifragum is probably nephrotoxic to lambs.Abbreviations ALP alkaline phosphatase - ASAT aspartate aminotransferase - -HBA -hydroxybutyric acid - CK creatine kinase - d.m. dry matter - -GT -glutamyltransferase - GLDH glutamate dehydrogenase - MCV mean cell volume - RBC red blood cells - SEM standard error of the mean - WBC white blood cells - w.m. wet matter  相似文献

A pharmacokinetic study of ampicillin (6 mg/kg intravenous) revealed that the peak concentrations of 17.81±1.25, 5.64±2.24 and 1.09±0.10 g/ml of the drug were attained at 15 min, 30 min and 2 h in plasma, milk and uterine fluid respectively. A therapeutic concentration of 0.1 g/ml was maintained from 15 min–8 h, 15 min–6 h and 30 min–6 h in plasma, milk and uterine fluid. Hence, the drug may be used effectively in mammary gland and uterine infections apart from its use in other systemic infections.  相似文献

The motility of the mammalian gastro-intestinal tract is regulated by a number of neuronal systems. The postganglionic, intramural parts of these systems are characterized by their neurotransmitters as cholinergic, adrenergic and purinergic nerves, respectively. The transmitter acetylcholine evokes contractions of the smooth muscle cell, whereas both noradrenalin and the transmitter from the purinergic nerves, presumably ATP, induce relaxations of smooth muscles. Agents and actions which influence the neurohumoral transmission and the mechanisms underlying the effects induced by the transmitters in smooth muscle cells are reviewed.  相似文献

The concentration and functionality of the -adrenoceptor (-AR) subtypes in the genital tract of cyclic heifers were investigated. In each tissue sample, a single class of 1-ARs was observed, whereas two distinct classes of 2-ARs were discriminated: low-affinity (LA) and high-affinity (HA) 2-ARs. Statistical analysis showed the presence of significantly (p < 0.05) higher concentrations of all -AR subtypes in the follicle than in the corpus luteum. No significant differences were found in the ovary or myometrium between the luteal and follicular phases. In the ovary, the density of 1-ARs was significantly (p < 0.05) higher than that of 2-ARs. By contrast, there were significantly (p < 0.05) more 2-ARs than 1-ARs in the myometrium. As far as 2-ARs are concerned, LA 2-ARs were significantly (p < 0.05) higher than HA 2-ARs in all tested tissues. Competition studies suggested that the rank order of potency of antagonists for 1-ARs was prazosin > phentolamine > yohimbine, whereas for 2-ARs the order of potency was yohimbine phentolamine > prazosin. Functional assays performed on myometrium showed that noradrenaline, phenylephrine and clonidine elicited concentration-dependent contractions only in dioestrus and pro-oestrus preparations and that clonidine was more effective than phenylephrine as a contractile agent. It appeared that there were no significant modifications in -AR affinity or concentration during the different stages of bovine oestrous cycle, whereas the uterine spontaneous activity and the responsiveness to -adrenergic stimulation was strongly influenced by hormonal levels. The modifications of uterine contractility observed during the oestrous cycle may be related to modifications induced in the transductional mechanisms of -ARs.  相似文献

Persson Waller, K., Colditz, I.G., Flapper, P. and Seow, H.-F., 1997. Leukocyte and cytokine accumulation in the ovine teat and udder during endotoxin-induced inflammation. Veterinary Research Communications, 21 (2), 101-115The accumulation of leukocytes, ovine serum albumin and the cytokines interleukin-1 (IL-1), tumour necrosis factor- (TNF-), interleukin-8 (IL-8), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and interferon- (IFN-) was studied during endotoxin-induced inflammation in lactating and dry ovine udders, and in the teat cisterns of dry ewes after surgical closure of the passage between the teat and udder cisterns. Samples were taken before infusion and hourly up to 10 h after infusion of 0.1, 1 or 10 µg of endotoxin, or infusion of pyrogen-free saline (PFS) as a control. Rectal temperatures were measured.A significant dose- and time-dependent accumulation of leukocytes, mainly neutrophils, was observed in the lactating udders and in the teat cisterns. In the dry udders, the leukocyte accumulation was significant for time but not for dose. Peak numbers of cells were reached at 3-4 h in the dry udders and in the teat cisterns, but not until 10 h after infusion in the lactating udders. The changes in the ovine serum albumin concentrations mostly paralleled changes in leukocyte numbers.A role was indicated for TNF-, IL-8 and GM-CSF, but not for IL-1 and IFN-, during endotoxin-induced inflammation in the ovine udder. Release of TNF-, IL-8 and GM-CSF was most prominent in lactating udders, peaking at 2 or 3 h after infusion, but was also detected in dry udders and teat cisterns. Detectable levels of IL-1 and IFN- were occasionally found in all three groups.  相似文献

Measurement of Cortisol Metabolites in Faeces of Ruminants   总被引：8，自引：0，他引：8  
Twenty-one metabolites were detected in faecal samples collected after infusion of (14C)cortisol into the jugular vein of sheep, using high-performance liquid chromatography/radiometric analysis plus mass spectrometry. One group of metabolites had molecular weights of between 302 and 308, and another group of 350, which indicates that the substances have a C19O3 or a C21O4 structure. Therefore, an enzyme immunoassay against 5-androstane-3-o1-11,17-dione-17-CMO:BSA was established. Faecal samples were collected from 10 cows immediately after transport and then during a course in which non-invasive diagnostic procedures were being taught (course 1). For comparison, faeces were sampled from another 5 cows that were being used for teaching invasive procedures (course 2). Six cows from a university farm served as controls. In the animals used in course 1, the highest concentrations of cortisol metabolites were measured immediately after transport to the university (median value: 2.2 mol/kg faeces). During the first 5 days at the university, the concentrations decreased to 0.52 mol/kg (median) and remained at this level during the rest of the course. The median concentration in the samples that were taken during course 2 (collected about 2 months after transport) was 0.48 mol/kg. There was no significant difference in the excretion of cortisol metabolites between these cows and the controls. We conclude from these data that, using the enzyme immunoassay against 5-androstane-3-o1-11,17-dione-17-CMO, we were able to detect transport/novel environment stress but not the potential disturbance that cows experience during diagnostic procedures.  相似文献

Pulmonary function tests were performed in six healthy calves. Prostaglandin F2 causes severe narrowing of both upper and lower airways (total lung resistance increased, dynamic compliance decreased). Clenbuterol administered intravenously fifteen minutes prior to prostaglandin F2 aerosol, and in increasing doses (0, 0.4, 0.8, 1.2 g/kg), on days 1, 2, 4 and 6 of the experiment, effectively but not entirely suppressed these responses.These data indicate that -adrenergic receptors are present in the bovine airways and that the use of clenbuterol (0.8 g/kg) may be effective in treating clinical respiratory disease such as bronchopneumonia in calves.  相似文献

The kinetics of the production of interferon gamma (IFN-) in whole blood culture and its comparison with anti-listeriolysin O (ALLO) detection by ELISA were studied during oral infection of calves with Listeria monocytogenes. Culture filtrate antigen (CFA), listeriolysin O (LLO), and sonicated antigen (SA) were used to prime the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and the plasma from orally infected calves. IFN- and ALLO appeared as early as day 7 of an oral infection. IFN- was detected earlier with LLO than with SA. The Max50 interleukin (IL-2) activity and IFN- estimated in the culture supernatant from PBMCs primed in vitro with different antigens of L. monocytogenes revealed high induction of IL-2 and IFN- by CFA, LLO and live antigen. IFN- assay and ALLO detection were used for testing cases of repeat breeding in dairy cattle. It appeared that detection of IFN- employing LLO can be used to diagnose listerial infections.  相似文献

Infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN), first described in 1955, is a viral disease of salmonid fry. The virus remains in the sexual fluids of adult carriers, thus allowing vertical transmission. The virus has been classified among the reoviruses, and at least three serotypes are well known: VR299 (USA), Sp and Ab (Europe). It has been established in the case of VR299 virus that some IPN survivors carry high levels of antibodies and completely eliminate the virus, while others do not synthesise antibodies and remain carriers for life. Sp type virus serially passaged a few times on cultured trout cells (RTG2), acquires new properties compared to the wild original virus. The adapted virus forms large plaques, loses its pathogenicity and is neutralised by normal serum from trout free of IPN. The molecule involved in this neutralisation is not related to IgM antibodies, and its nature remains unknown. Variant virus types with different growth characteristics have also been selected from VR299 cultured in trout (RTG2) or minnow (FHM) cells. It appears therefore necessary to investigate the relationships betweenin vitro properties and pathogenicity.
Kurzfassung Die zuerst in Amerika (1955) beschriebene infektiose Pankreas-Nekrose (N.P.I.) stellt eine Virose der Salmonidenbrut dar. Der Virus befindet sich in den sexuellen Ausscheidungen erwachsener Trägertiere; somit ist eine vertikale Ubertragung möglich. Von diesem Virus, der zur Familie der Reoviridae gehört, sind wenigstens drei Serumtypen bekannt: VR299 (USA), Sp und Ab (Europa). Für VR299 steht fest, dass die NPI Uberlebenden viele Antikörper erzeugen und den Virus völlig ausscheiden, während andere Varianten gar keine Antikörper produzieren und daher lebenszeitige Träger bleiben. Auf kultivierte Forellenzellen übertragene Viren des Sp Typus erlangen andere Eigenschaften als die Zellen des wilden Original virus. Der angepasste Virus provoziert grössere Auflösungsplatten, verliert seine pathogene Wirkung und wird vom normalen Forellenserum der NPI neutralisiert. In diesem Fall gehört das verantwortliche Molekül für die Neutralisierung nicht zu den IgM Antikörpern, und seine Natur ist nicht gut bekannt. Eine Selektion verschiedener Viren mit unterschiedlichen Wachstumseigen-schaften hat man mit dem VR299 auf Forellen-oder Pfrillen-(FHM)-Zellen erhalten. Es scheint demnach notwendig, die Beziehungen zwischen Eigenschaftenin vitro und die Pathogeneität näher zu untersuchen.
Resume Décrite pour la première fois aux U.S.A. en 1955, la Nécrose Pancréatique Infectieuse (N.P.I.) est une virose des alevins de salmonidés. Le virus est présent dans les produits sexuels des porteurs adultes, assurant la transmission verticale. Ce virus, classé dans la famille des Reoviridae, présente au moins trois sérotypes: VR299 (U.S.A.), Sp et Ab (Europe). Classiquement, les survivants de N.P.I. (dans le cas du VR299) font beaucoup d'anticorps et éliminent le virus, ou bien font peu ou pas d'anticorps et restent porteurs à vie. les virus de type Sp cultive sur cellules de truite RTG2 acquièrent en quelques passages des propriétés différentes de celles du virus sauvage d'origine. Le virus adapté provoque des plages de lyse plus grandes, perd tout pouvoir pathogène et est neutralisé par le sérum de truites indemnes de N.P.I. Dans ce cas, la molécule responsable de la neutralisation n'appartient pas aux anticorps, et sa nature reste mal connue. La sélection de variants possédant des caractéristiques de croissance différente a aussi été obtenue avec le VR299 propagé en cultures soit de truit (RTG2) soit de vairon (FHM). Il apparaît donc néssaire d'approfondir les relations entre propriétésin vitro et pouvoir pathogènein vivo.
Riassunto Descritta negli USA per la prima volta nel 1955, la necrosi pancreatica infettiva e una virosi dei giovani salmonidi. Il virus e presente nei prodotti sessuali dei portatori adulti, assicurando la trasmissione verticale. Questo virus classificato nella famiglia dei Reoviridae, rappresenta almeno tre sierotipi diversi: il VR299 (USA), lo Sp ed il Ab (Europa). Tipicamente, i sopravissuti della NPI, producono molti anticorpi ed eliminano il virus, oppure ne producono pochi o non ne procucono affatto e rimangono portatori a vita. Dopo alcuni passaggi, i virus di tipo Sp, coltivati su cellule di trota RTG2, acquistano delle proprietà diverse delle cellule del virus selvatico di origine. Il virus adattato provoca dell placche di lisi più grandi, perde ogni potere patogeno, e si neutralizza con il siero di trota indenne da NPI. In questo caso, la molecola responsabile della neutralizzazione non appartiene agli anticorpi e la sua natura resta poco nota. La selezione di varianti con caratteristiche di crescita diverse è stata anche ottenuta propagando il VR299 in colture di trota (RTG2) e di vairone (FHM). Appare quindi necessario approfondire le relazioni tra le proprietain vitro e il potere patogenoin vivo.

This paper reports the milk protein polymorphism, the allele frequencies of variants and the possible linkages among various combinations of milk protein phenotypes in the Kangayam cattle of south India. Milk samples from 156 Kangayam cows were typed by starch gel and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis for caseins and whey proteins, respectively. All the four milk protein components studied, s1-casein, -casein, -lactoglobulin and -lactalbumin, exhibited polymorphism with high allele frequencies of 0.9231±0.0151 for s1-casein C, 0.9263±0.0148 for -casein A, 0.9135±0.0159 for -lactoglobulin B and a relatively high frequency of 0.6218±0.0275 for -lactalbumin A. The mean heterozygosity estimated over all the four milk protein loci was 0.2420. Genetic equilibrium was observed among all the loci studied, except -lactalbumin. Linkage analysis confirmed the non-independence between s1- and -caseins and between caseins and -lactalbumin phenotypes.  相似文献

The oxidative metabolism of aldicarb (ALD), a carbamate pesticide, and fenbendazole (FBZ), an anthelmintic, was studied using cultured hepatocytes obtained from 4 goats and a bullock and incubated with ALD (50 mol/L) and FBZ (10 mol/L). The parent compounds and the metabolites were measured by HPLC. Both compounds are metabolized at the sulphur atom via two sequential oxidations, first to the sulphoxide (aldicarb sulphoxide and oxfendazole, respectively) and then to the sulphone. Oxfendazole and fenbendazole sulphone from FBZ, and aldicarb sulphoxide from ALD were found in both species. Aldicarb sulphone was not produced by the hepatocyte preparations from the bullock. The good correlation obtained comparing the in vitro results of FBZ metabolism with published in vivo dat obtained on FBZ kinetics in the same species confirmed the usefulness of in vitro models for predictive analysis of in vivo xenobiotic biotransformations.Abbreviations ALD aldicarb - ALDSON aldicarb sulphone - ALDSOX aldicarb sulphoxide - BSA bovine serum albumin - ID internal diameter - EGTA ethylene glycol bis(-aminoethyl ether) N,N,N,N-tetraacetic acid - FBZ fenbendazole - FBZSON fenbendazole sulphone - HBSS Hanks' balanced saline solution - HPLC high-pressure liquid chromatography - LDH lactate dehydrogenase - MFO mixed function oxidase - NCS newborn calf serum - OXF oxfendazole - WME Williams' Medium E  相似文献

Haemophilus influenzae is a bacterium that often can be isolated from the deeper respiratory airways of patients with chronic asthmatic bronchitis. In the present study the effects ofH. influenzae vaccination on guinea pig pulmonary -adrenoceptor number and function (in vitro and in vivo) have been evaluated. Functioning of -adrenoceptors is determined by measuring the -mimetic effect of isoprenaline on the inhibition of anaphylactic mediator release and isolated tracheal strip relaxation. The number of -adrenoceptor binding sites was measured by means of a3H-dihydroalprenolol binding assay.Also the mechanism of action underlying the changes in -adrenoceptor functioning was evaluated. Furthermore, it was established that the effect on the -adrenoceptor system was not specific forH. influenzae and that other respiratory pathogens were also biologically active in this respect.  相似文献
