This study was designed to investigate the effects of peripheral [intraperitoneal (IP)] and central [intracerebroventricular (ICV)] administration of cinnamaldehyde on concentrations of blood glucose and serum insulin in the acute hyperglycemia induced by ketamine/xylazine. Yohimbine (a α-adrenoceptor antagonist) was used alone and in combination with cinnamaldehyde to explore the α-adrenergic receptor contribution. A total of 48 rats were divided into eight groups with six rats in each for IP administration of normal saline, vehicle, cinnamaldehyde (25.

Background: The α2-adrenoceptor agonist xylazine as an anesthetic has been widely used either alone or in combination with other anesthetics, such as ketamine, in veterinary clinic and research. In the last decade xylazine has been used in drug abusers in certain geographic area. This study investigated the effects of xylazine on blood glucose level and insulin secretion in normoglycemic and insulin-dependent diabetic monkeys.

The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare the effects of medetomidine and xylazine on some neurohormonal and metabolic variables in healthy cats. Five cats were used repeatedly in each of 11 groups, which were injected intramuscularly with physiological saline solution (control), 20, 40, 80, 160, and 320 microg/kg of medetomidine, and 0.5, 1, 2, 4, and 8 mg/kg of xylazine.

In order to clarify the mechanism of xylazine-induced GH release, we investigated the effects of atipamezole, a selective alpha 2-adrenergic antagonist, and somatostatin (SRIF) on xylazine-stimulated GH release in calves. Xylazine injection (0.30 mg/kg BW, iv) induced a rapid increase in the GH concentration.
