The effect of breed on ivermectin residues in the edible tissues of cattle and the estimated withdrawal period.

This study analyzed the residue depletion kinetics of ivermectin (IVM) in Nelore and crossbred (Nelore x Angus) cattle aiming to compare the profiles between the breeds and evaluate the residue levels at the injection site. IVM 1%, at a dose of 0.2 mg/kg, was administered the subcutaneous route, and tissue samples were collected on different days post administration for analysis by LC-MS/MS.

Population Pharmacokinetic Modeling of Free Plasma and Free Brain Concentrations of Ceftaroline in Healthy and Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus-Infected Wistar Rats.

A population pharmacokinetic model was developed to describe alterations in ceftaroline brain disposition caused by meningitis in healthy and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)-infected rats. Blood and brain microdialysate samples were obtained after a single bolus dose of ceftaroline fosamil (20 mg/kg) administered intravenously. Plasma data were modeled as one compartment, and brain data were added to the model as a second compartment, with bidirectional drug transport between plasma and brain ( and ).

Development and validation of an LC-MS/MS method to quantify ceftaroline in microdialysate samples from plasma and brain: Application to a preclinical pharmacokinetic investigation.

A bioanalytical LC-MS/MS method was developed and validated to determine ceftaroline in microdialysate samples from plasma and brain. Ceftaroline was separated using a C18 column and a mobile phase consisting of water and acetonitrile, both with 5 mM of ammonium formate and acid formic 0.1%, eluted as gradient.

Residues of Veterinary Drugs in Animal Products Commercialized in the Border Region of Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay.

Abstract: The traffic in international animal products can become a public health hazard when legal import sanitary procedures are not followed. In Brazil, due to its extensive border area, the importation of animal products is a common practice in many areas, especially in Rio Grande do Sul, a state that borders Argentina and Uruguay. The objective of this study was to evaluate the presence of veterinary drug residues (antibiotics and antiparasitics) in animal products consumed in Rio Grande do Sul.

Microbiological and physicochemical characteristics of buffalo milk used for dairy products in southern Brazil.

In Brazil, the buffalo milk market has been growing. However, identity and quality standards have not been established for this raw material, nor have proper distinctions between buffalo milk and bovine milk been defined. Currently, the State of Rio Grande do Sul (RS) has only three producers that supply raw material for officially marketed derivatives.

Retention of vitamin A after goat milk processing into cheese: a nutritional strategy.

The deficiency in micronutrients is a public health problem, principally in lower-middle-income countries. Vitamin A (VA) is considered a micronutrient fundamental to the maintenance and development of different tissues in the organism. Therefore, it is an essential micronutrient in the human diet.

The effect of breed, sex, and drug concentration on the pharmacokinetic profile of ivermectin in cattle.

Ivermectin (IVM) is one of the most widely used antiparasitic drugs worldwide and has become the drug of choice for anthelmintic and tick treatment in beef cattle production. It is known that pharmacokinetic parameters are fundamental to the rational use of a drug and food safety and these parameters are influenced by different factors. The aim of this study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetic profile of IVM in Bos indicus, Bos taurus, and crossbreed cattle (B.
