CHANGES IN ANTIOXIDANT CAPACITY OF KOALAS () BASED ON HEALTH STATUS AND MEASUREMENT OF THE ANTIOXIDANT ASCORBATE IN EUCALYPT LEAVES.

Antioxidants have a crucial role in protecting the body from oxidative stress, which would otherwise result in cellular damage and possibly predispose animals to disease. The antioxidant capacity of koalas () and its association with health or disease status is currently unknown. Ascorbate, a dietary antioxidant, has previously been identified in a few eucalypt species eaten by koalas.

The pharmacokinetics of single dose intramuscular amoxicillin trihydrate in tammar wallabies (Macropus eugenii).

Five tammar wallabies (Macropus eugenii) were injected intramuscularly with 10 mg/kg amoxicillin trihydrate. Serial blood samples were collected through to 26 hr postinjection. Plasma amoxicillin concentrations were measured using high-performance liquid chromatography.
