Aim: The objective of this study was to determine the effects
of enrofloxacin (ENR), flunixin meglumine (FM) and dexamethasone
(DEX) on kinetic values of cytokines, adenosine
deaminase (ADA) and 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-prostaglandin
F2a (PGM) in lipopolysaccharide-induced endotoxemia.
Materials and Methods: Rats were divided into seven
groups. To induce endotoxemia, lipopolysaccharide (LPS)
was injected into all groups, including the positive control.
The six other groups received the following drugs: ENR,
FM, low-dose DEX, high-dose DEX, ENR + FM + low-dose
DEX and ENR + FM + high-dose DEX. After the treatments,
blood samples were collected at 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, and
48 hours. Serum tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), interleukin-
6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10), ADA and plasma
PGM levels were determined by ELISA. Area under the concentration
time curve (AUC0-48), maximal concentration in
plasma or serum (Cmax) and time to reach (tmax) values were
determined by pharmacokinetic computer program.
Results: ENR increased (p<0.05) AUC0-48 of PGM and decreased
(p<0.05) AUC0-48 of IL-6, IL-10 and ADA, while FM
decreased (p<0.05) AUC0-48 of IL-6 and ADA compared
to LPS group. DEX alone and combined administrations
caused the lower AUC0-48 of all values (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Kinetic values, especially AUC, may be used
for total evaluation of endotoxemia markers determined at
different sampling times in same groups as a different and
logical approach.
