Fipronil is a relatively new insecticide in agriculture with health and environmental effects. This is the first report studying effect of fipronil on fish administered via intraperitoneal route. Intraperitoneal LD50  of fipronil in 16.3 g Caspian kutum, Rutilus frisii kutum, fingerlings was determined using a total of 133 fish in 19 tanks (7 fish/tank) including one control...

The sensitivity of the mouse antibody production test with intraperitoneal or intrasplenic inoculation of mice with reovirus type 3, minute virus of mice, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, or mouse hepatitis virus was compared with that of direct isolation in cultured cells. The mouse antibody production test for detection of mouse hepatitis virus was significantly more sensitive than virus i...

In a study of 91 babies with dehydration as a result of gastroenteritis the intraperitoneal route was found to be safe and effective in those with mild or moderate dehydration, but not in those who were severely dehydrated. The fluids found to be most effective in the intraperitoneal technique were normal saline with 28 mEq of potassium chloride per litre, or for hypertonically dehydrated babie...

Athymic BALB/c nude mice and euthymic BALB/c mice were infected with Rickettsia akari by the intraperitoneal route. The rickettsialpox infection was terminated in euthymic mice with only two intraperitoneal injections of the antibiotic oxytetracycline, whereas prolonged treatment was necessary to terminate the infection in athymic mice. Both athymic and euthymic mice produced specific antibody,...

Antipyretic effect of petroleum ether and chloroform soluble fractions of ethanol extract of the roots of Vernonia cinerea was investigated. Intraperitoneal administration of boiled milk at a dose 0.5 ml/kg body weight in albino rabbit leads to pyrexia. Intraperitoneal (i.p. route) administration of petroleum ether and chloroform soluble fractions of ethanol extract of the roots of Vernonia cin...

the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of α2-adrenergic agonist (xylazine) andantagonist (yohimbine) on phasic pain during estrous cycle in female rats. adult female rats weighing 180-220 g were kept under controlled temperature (21-24°c) and light/dark conditions (light on at 6:00 a.m. and light off at 6:00 p.m.). animals were divided into four groups: 1) control group whic...

Silverman, Sidney J. (U.S. Army Biological Laboratories, Fort Detrick, Frederick, Md.), James F. Drawdy, and Donald A. Kautter. Failure of animal passage to increase the virulence of Listeria monocytogenes. J. Bacteriol. 86:92-94. 1963.-Three strains of Listeria monocytogenes, JHH, A4413, and 53P380, were serially passed through mice, guinea pigs, or monkeys via the intracerebral, intraperitone...

The antidotal action of atropine sulfate and 2-pyridine aldoxime methiodide (2-PAM) against poisoning attributable to the new procarbamate insecticide benfuracarb [(ethyl N-[2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethylbenzofuran-7-yloxycarbonyl (methyl) aminothio]-N-isopropyl-beta-alaninate] was compared utilizing rats as our experimental model. Both the intraperitoneal and oral administrations of these antidotes ...
