Ocular responses to ammonia in broiler chickens.
In two trials, 60 male commercial broilers were placed in each of eight environmentally controlled chambers receiving 0, 25, 50, or 75 ppm aerial ammonia from 1 to 28 days. Birds exposed to 25 ppm (lower concentration) ammonia gas developed ocular abnormalities but at a slower rate when compared with birds exposed to 50 and 75 ppm (higher concentrations). Birds exposed to higher concentrations ...
متن کاملIntravenous endotoxin triggers pulmonary vasoconstriction and pulmonary hypertension in broiler chickens.
Bacterial endotoxins stimulate endothelin-mediated, thromboxane-dependent increases in pulmonary vascular resistance in mammals, and thromboxane has been shown to cause an immediate but transient pulmonary vasoconstriction in broiler chickens. In the present study, i.v. injections of 1 mg endotoxin into anesthetized male broilers caused a pulmonary vasoconstrictive response that was delayed in ...
متن کاملRegulation of immune responses by prostaglandin E2.
PGE(2), an essential homeostatic factor, is also a key mediator of immunopathology in chronic infections and cancer. The impact of PGE(2) reflects the balance between its cyclooxygenase 2-regulated synthesis and 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase-driven degradation and the pattern of expression of PGE(2) receptors. PGE(2) enhances its own production but suppresses acute inflammatory mediator...
متن کاملComparison of intravenous oxytocin and prostaglandin E2 for accelerating labour.
In a prospective study of 52 consecutive women who required acceleration of labour intravenous prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) was used as the oxytocic agent. These mothers were matched for age, parity, height, gestational age, initial cervical dilatation, and station and position of the fetal head with 52 women whose labours were accelerated with oxytocin; both drugs were equally effective. Accelerati...
متن کاملOral prostaglandin E2 in ductus-dependent pulmonary circulation.
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) was administered orally, in doses of 12-65 microgram/kg at intervals of 1-4 hours, to 12 neonates in whom the pulmonary circulation depended on patency of the ductus arteriosus. After an oral dose, both oxygen saturation (SaO2) and plasma PGE2 concentration increased consistently within 15-30 minutes, reaching values comparable to those during i.v. infusions. Treatment c...
