Effect of small doses of naloxone on sexual exhaustion in White New Zealand male rabbits

The objective of the present study was to determine the effect of small doses of naloxone on sexual exhaustion in White New Zealand male rabbits. Twelve young and 12 adult male rabbits 6–12 months old and 14–20 months of age, respectively, were selected from a commercial farm. Each male rabbit was housed individually in galvanized cages (90 cm × 60 cm × 40 cm). The rabbits were housed in an open shed exposed to natural photoperiod (12 L 12 D, 19°N). Daily temperature fluctuated through the year from 28 to 16 °C. Humidity was 45 ± 5%. Water and food (rabbit chow PMI) was supplied ad libitum. After sexual behaviour for each studied group was established, the males were given a 6-day rest, and 3 days before next trial, six males of each group (treated) received a subcutaneous implant of 8 mg of naloxone in a crystalline nitrocellulose pellet formulated to be completely absorbed in 15 days. The remaining six males were sham-treated (control). At the end of the resting period as previously described, the sexual behavior of each group was studied and compared using a Mann–Whitney statistical U-test. The effect of naloxone on sexual behavior was analyzed with a Wilcoxon test for correlated samples. With regard to sexual activity between young and adult rabbits, it was observed that there was a significant difference between groups (P = 0.00275, Z = 2.8823, adjusted Z = 2.99.43) showing that younger rabbits mounted/ejaculated from 9 to 10 females compared with 6 to 8 mounted/ejaculated by older rabbits. When naloxone was administered to both groups, there was a significant difference when comparing sexual behavior before and after administration of naloxone (table first and second trial). Young rabbits treated with naloxone mounted/ejaculated 11–12 females while older rabbits mounted nine females before reaching sexual exhaustion. A significant difference was observed when comparing the number of estrous females that were mounted/ejaculated between groups. Environmental photoperiod and temperature changes were not considered. It was concluded that endogenous opioids are important modulators of behavioral and hormonal interactions related to sexual behavior.     

Vascular rarefaction in peripheral skeletal muscle after experimental heart failure

A decrease in vascular density in peripheral skeletal muscle has been associated with exercise intolerance in humans with congestive heart failure (CHF). The purpose of this study was to determine whether CHF results in a reduction in vascular density in peripheral skeletal muscle. In this established model, CHF was induced by coronary artery ligation in New Zealand White rabbits and sham rabbits that underwent an identical surgical procedure without ligation of the coronary artery. At study termination, rabbits underwent hemodynamic testing and skeletal muscle analysis. The first series of rabbits was divided into sham (n = 6) and CHF (n = 6) 21 days postoperatively. Ten CHF rabbits were then examined 3 (n = 3), 7 (n = 3), and 14 days (n = 4) postoperatively. Vascular density in sham tibialis anterior muscle was 347 +/- 41 capillaries/mm2 or 1.20 +/- 0.11 capillaries/muscle fiber. In 21-day CHF rabbits, the capillary density was significantly lower, 236 +/- 14 capillaries/mm2 or 0.84 +/- 0.04 capillaries/muscle fiber (both P < 0.00001 vs. sham); PECAM protein was 2-fold lower (P < 0.0001) in muscle protein lysates; the fraction of apoptotic cells was greater, 3.8 +/- 2.2 vs. 0.69 +/- 0.56 (P < 0.02 vs. sham) with many TdT-mediated dUTP-biotin nick-end labeling-positive endothelial cells; and Bax protein was 2.8-fold greater (P < 0.0001). By regression analysis, vascular density tended to decrease over time (r2 = 0.572, P < 0.0001). Vascular rarefaction and endothelial apoptosis develop after experimental CHF and may contribute to the skeletal muscle abnormalities in this disease. Modulating vascular density may provide new approaches to treat exercise intolerance in CHF.

A randomised trial of an eight-week, once weekly primaquine regimen to prevent relapse of plasmodium vivax in Northwest Frontier Province, Pakistan

Background

Vivax malaria remains a major cause of morbidity in the subtropics. To undermine the stability of the disease, drugs are required that prevent relapse and provide reservoir reduction. A 14-day course of primaquine (PQ) is effective but cannot safely be used in routine practice because of its interaction with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency for which testing is seldom available. Safe and effective use of PQ without the need for G6PD testing would be ideal. The efficacy and safety of an 8-week, once weekly PQ regimen was compared with current standard treatment (chloroquine alone) and a 14-day PQ regimen.

Methods and Principal Findings

200 microscopically confirmed Plasmodium vivax patients were randomly assigned to either once weekly 8-week PQ (0.75mg/kg/week), once weekly 8-week placebo, or 14-day PQ (0.5mg/kg/day) in North West Frontier Province, Pakistan. All patients were treated with a standard chloroquine dose and tested for G6PD deficiency. Deficient patients were assigned to the 8-week PQ group. Failure was defined as any subsequent episode of vivax malaria over 11 months of observation. There were 22/71 (31.0%) failures in the placebo group and 1/55 (1.8%) and 4/75 (5.1%) failures in the 14-day and 8-week PQ groups, respectively. Adjusted odds ratios were: for 8-week PQ vs. placebo-0.05 (95%CI: 0.01-0.2, p<0.001) and for 14-day PQ vs. placebo-0.01 (95%CI: 0.002-0.1, p<0.001). Restricted analysis allowing for a post-treatment prophylactic effect confirmed that the 8-week regimen was superior to current treatment. Only one G6PD deficient patient presented. There were no serious adverse events.

Conclusions

A practical radical treatment for vivax malaria is essential for control and elimination of the disease. The 8-week PQ course is more effective at preventing relapse than current treatment with chloroquine alone. Widespread use of the 8-week regimen could make an important contribution to reservoir reduction or regional elimination where G6PD testing is not available.

TGF‐β1 monoclonal antibody: Assessment of embryo‐fetal toxicity in rats and rabbits

A humanized monoclonal antibody targeting transforming growth factor β1 (TGF‐β1 mab) has been used in development for the treatment of chronic kidney disease. Embryo‐fetal development studies were conducted in rats and rabbits using 30 and 25 animals per group, respectively. The TGF‐β1 mab was administered subcutaneously to rats at 0, 2, or 50 mg/kg/dose on gestation days (GDs) 6, 10, and 14 and intravenously to rabbits at 0 or 3 mg/kg/dose on GDs 7, 12 to 19, and at 30 mg/kg/dose on GDs 7, 12, 14, 16, and 18. Maternal reproductive endpoints and fetal viability, weight, and morphology were evaluated. There was no indication of maternal or embryo‐fetal toxicity in the rat. Effects in the rabbit were limited to the fetus where the 30 mg/kg TGF‐β1 mab dose produced a slight decrease in fetal weight and an increase in the incidence of retrocaval ureter and an absent and/or malpositioned kidney/ureter in two fetuses. In conclusion, TGF‐β1 mab produced no adverse maternal or embryo‐fetal findings in rats when administered ≤50 mg/kg on GDs 6, 10, and 14. TGF‐β1 mab did not demonstrate maternal toxicity or embryo‐fetal lethality at doses as high as 30 mg/kg when administered on GDs 7, 12, 14, 16, and 18 in rabbits. Fetal growth and morphology were affected only at 30 mg/kg; thus, the no observed adverse effect level was 3 mg/kg in rabbits. The margin of safety for both rats and rabbits was ≥37‐fold the clinical exposure level.     

Changes in ovarian NAD(+)-dependent 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase activity in pregnant and pseudopregnant rabbits.

The specific activity of NAD(+)-dependent 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (PGDH) was found to increase in the ovaries of pregnant and pseudopregnant rabbits. The mean specific activity of cytosolic ovarian PGDH in 14- to 28-day pregnant rabbits was 24.3 +/- 8.1 nmol NADH formed/min/mg protein (n = 16) using PGE1 as substrate whereas in nonpregnant rabbits the specific activity was 1.5 +/- 0.8 nmol NADH formed/min/mg protein (n = 8). The reaction was dependent on NAD+; NADP+ did not support the reaction. In grouping the PGDH activities from pregnant rabbits into second (14-18 days) and third (2-28 days) trimester periods, no significant difference between values was found (26.1 +/- 8.9 vs 23.4 +/- 8.1 nmol NADH formed/min/mg protein, respectively). Western blot analysis of the ovarian cytosol using an antibody which was made to the purified lung PGDH of pregnant rabbits recognized an ovarian protein of identical molecular mass (30 kDa). Ovarian PGDH activities were also examined in rabbits treated with pregnant mare's serum gonadotrophin (PMSG) and human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) to induce a state of superovulatory/pseudopregnancy and only on day 11 following hCG treatment was an increase in PGDH specific activity observed. On day 11, the specific activity was 14.8 +/- 4.3 nmol NADH formed/min/mg protein whereas values on days 10 and 12 were only 1.1 +/- 1.1 and 1.0 +/- 0.8, respectively. PGDH activities on days 3, 7 and 16 were also low.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Inhibition of neointima formation by a nonpeptide alpha(v)beta(3) integrin receptor antagonist in a rabbit cuff model

This study was performed to determine whether a highly selective nonpeptide alpha(v)beta(3) antagonist (SH306) would prove effective in inhibiting neointima formation in a rabbit cuff model. The animals were dosed with SH306, 5 mg/kg i.v., followed by 10 mg/kg s. c., 3 times daily for 3 days, or with vehicle (10% DMAC). Rabbits were sacrificed and perfused on days 1, 3, and 21; the vessels were paraffin embedded. A reduction in the intima/media (I/M) of the SH306-treated rabbits, as compared with the vehicle-treated control group, was noted (0.20 vs 0.36 [n = 4]). A significant increase in the area of the media was observed in the SH306-treated group versus the control group (0.20 vs 0.13). No difference was observed in cell proliferation between SH306 and vehicle after 1-day and 3-day dosing. Thrombi were found in 43% of the control vessels and in only 14% of the drug-treated vessels. No anticoagulant was used during the surgical procedure. No increase in inhibition of GPIIb/IIIa was observed in SH306-treated animals, as compared with the vehicle control group. We conclude that selective inhibition of alpha(v)beta(3) reduced neointima formation in a rabbit model at 3 weeks.
