1. An analytical procedure has been developed for the gas-liquid chromatographic analyses of cholesterol in hair samples. 2. The mean and standard deviation of hair samples from 40 different dogs have been established to be 632 +/- 291 ppm. No significant difference in cholesterol levels was observed between dogs of different breeds, sex or age.

Article Synopsis
  • Pharmacokinetics studies how drugs move through the body, focusing on absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion, while pharmacodynamics examines the drug's effects on the body.
  • The combination of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies helps correlate drug concentrations with their therapeutic effects, providing valuable data for regulatory purposes and establishing administration guidelines.
  • Key considerations for pharmacokinetic studies include subject characteristics, dosages, sample types, collection times, and analytical methods to ensure accurate assessment of drug effects and concentrations.

Background: In recent years, cases of leishmaniosis have been described in animals housed in captivity in zoos in Spain [Bennett's wallaby (Macropus rufogriseus rufogriseus), orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus pygameus), and European otter (Lutra lutra)]. Some of these zoological parks are in endemic areas for both human and animal leishmaniosis, thus it should be very important to include this zoonosis in the differential diagnosis.

Methods: The study was carried out in two zoological parks in Madrid, Madrid Zoo and Faunia, and analyzed seven meerkats.
