Published: April 2002

The effect of lamotrigine (LTG) on the pharmacokinetics of carbamazepine (CBZ) and its active metabolite; carbamazepine-epoxine (CBZ-E), was investigated in dogs. Five male dogs received CBZ (2 x 200 mg tab, p.o.) daily for a period of 1 week. After the end of this period, blood samples were collected serially for up to 24 hrs. After a wash-out period of I week, LTG (100 mg tab, p.o.) was coadministered with the CBZ dose (2 x 200 mg tab, p.o.) for 7 days. Blood samples were again serially collected and plasma levels of CBZ and CBZ-E were analysed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Concurrent administration of LTG with CBZ did not have any significant effect on the pharmacokinetic parameters of CBZ. There was also no significant difference between the plasma concentration ratio (CBZ-E to CBZ) vs time profiles in the two schedules of drug administration signifying the absence of pharmacokinetic interaction between LTG and CBZ or its active metabolite in this animal model.

Macrophages remove apoptotic cells via phagocytosis, also known as efferocytosis, during inflammation to maintain tissue homeostasis. This process is accompanied by various metabolic changes in macrophages including the production of lipid metabolites by fatty acid oxygenases. Among these, highly reactive metabolites, called lipid-derived electrophiles (LDEs), modify cysteines and other nucleophilic amino acids in intracellular proteins.

Climate warming and frequent incidents of extreme high temperatures are serious global concerns. Heat stress induced by high temperature has many adverse effects on animal physiology, especially in aquatic poikilotherms. Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) is sensitive to high temperatures, this study evaluated the harmful effects of heat stress on the neurotoxicity, intestinal health, microbial diversity, and metabolite profiles.

Bacterial blight of pomegranate caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. punicae poses significant challenges to sustainable cultivation, necessitating eco-friendly management strategies, and this study explores the role of the phylloplane microbiome in disease suppression through metabarcoding, traditional microbiology, and antibacterial screening of microbial candidates. Here, we mapped the phylloplane microbiome of pomegranate cultivar 'Bhagwa' during bacterial blight development using metabarcoding sequencing (2443,834 reads), traditional microbiological methods (nutrient-rich and minimal media), and scanning electron microscopy.
