Lymphatic Fat Absorption Varies among Rats Administered Dairy Products Differing in Physiochemical Properties

Inhibition of norfloxacin absorption by dairy products.

Seven healthy subjects received, after an overnight fast, a single 200-mg oral dose of norfloxacin with water, whole milk, and unflavored yoghurt. Coadministration of milk or yoghurt reduced the extent of norfloxacin absorption and the mean peak concentration in plasma by approximately 50%. Taking of norfloxacin with these liquid dairy products should be avoided.

Transdiaphragmatic Lymphatic Transport of Intraperitoneally Administered Markers in Rats

Experimental studies were undertaken, aiming at evaluation of lymphatic drainage from the peritoneal cavity to lymph nodes of the cranial mediastinum in rats. The study made use of 11 adult male Wistar rats. For examination of lymphatic structures drawing ink and FITC-dextran, administered intraperitoneally, were used. Due to lack of unambiguous terminology quoted in the literature with regard ...

Lymphatic Absorption of Seal and Fish Eicosanoid Production in Rats

llnsaturatedlmonounsaturatedlsaturated fatt)' acids and n-6/n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids ratios were fed to rats for 3 weeks. Seal oil more effective]y reduced plasma and liyer triglyceride than fish oil. Ratio of the productions of aortic prostacyclin and platelet thromboxane A2 stimulated by thrombin was significantly higher in rats fed sea] oil than in those fed fish oil. The results sugg...

Lymphatic and portal vein absorption of organochlorine compounds in rats.

The route of absorption of ingested compounds is a determinant of their distribution and metabolism. Portal vein absorption results in direct transport to the liver, where metabolism may take place before extrahepatic delivery. Lymphatic absorption can result in delivery of parent compound to nonhepatic tissues. Understanding the fate of an ingested compound requires determination of the import...
