NSAIDs such as celecoxib and sulindac play a critical role in the treatment of colorectal cancer, yet it is not understood how sufficiently high concentrations are reached colonic tissue. We previously demonstrated that an incomplete small intestinal absorption enables gut driven drug accumulation caecal tissue, which most likely needed for inducing remission. However, multistage dissolution ex...

Evidence of pain perception in fish is well established, but analgesic use aquaculture limited. The objective was to investigate the comparative pharmacokinetics flunixin administered intramuscularly (IM) and meloxicam IM or orally (PO) tilapia. Two hundred seventy were assigned 1 3 treatment groups: meglumine (2.2 mg/kg); (1 PO mg/kg). Blood tissue samples collected from 6 per at 14 time point...

Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) prevents and treats a variety of disorders via its cytoprotective effects. However, the effects of H2S on rats with cisplatin (CP) nephrotoxicity are unclear. The aim was to study the effects of H2S on rats with CP nephrotoxicity. Thirty male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups: control group, nephrotoxic group received sing...

Transdermal therapeutic system scopolamine (TTS-S) is effective in preventing motion sickness for 72 h. However, by this route a prophylactic effect is obtained 6 to 8 h postapplication. By the oral route, scopolamine is effective within 0.5 h for a period of 6 h. To achieve safe as well as effective protection against seasickness during the first hours of a voyage until the TTS-S patch takes e...

Plasma membrane vesicles isolated from spinach leaves incubated with the fungal toxin fusicoccin showed a twofold increase in ATP hydrolytic activity and a threefold increase in H+ pumping compared to controls. This increase in H+-ATPase activity was largely completed within 4 min of incubation and was not due to de novo synthesis of H+-ATPase as demonstrated by immunoblotting. Incubation with ...

Background & Aim: Èfó Wòròwó (Solanecio biafrae) an important vegetable in Nigeria has many health benefits non-scientific claims in herbal practice. This work was designed to evaluate the traditional application of Èfó Wòròwó (Solanecio biafrae) to reduce weight and fats in pre-obesity. Experimental:31 pre-obese individuals (35-70 years...

The hyperlipidemia accompanying infection has been attributed to production of tumor necrosis factor. This cytokine inhibits adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase, which could decrease clearance of lipoproteins. Infections also increase hepatic lipogenesis. We now have demonstrated that tumor necrosis factor-alpha stimulates lipid synthesis in vivo. 2 h after administration of tumor necrosis factor...

Pharmacokinetics of ceftriaxone was studied in buffalo calves (Bubalus bubalis) after single intravenousand intramuscular administration of 10 mg/kg body weight. The drug concentrations in plasma samples weremeasured by high performance liquid chromatography with UV detection. Following intravenousadministration, the drug was rapidly distributed (Cpo: 106.5 ± 9.64 μg/ml; t1/2α: 0.09 ± 0.01 h; V...

BACKGROUND Evidence is conflicting as to whether the bioavailability of food folates is influenced by the extent of their conjugation. OBJECTIVE The objective was to compare the bioavailability of 3 representative food folate sources with various degrees of glutamylation-ie, egg yolk, spinach, and yeast, whose polyglutamyl folate content measured 0%, 50%, and 100%, respectively. DESIGN In a...
