CHRONOPHARMACOKINETICS OF METHOTREXATE IN MICE: MODULATION BY ADMINISTRATION OF 5-FLUOROURACIL IN COMBINATION CHEMOTHERAPY

Chronopharmacokinetics of Methotrexate in Mice: Modulation by Administration of 5-Fluorouracil in Combination Chemotherapy

The basic pharmacokinetic parameters of MTX administered as monotherapy as well as in the combined therapy with simultaneous and prior administation of FU were investigated.The parameters were determined in the two-compartment open system on the basis of measurement of MTX levels in mice after i.p.administration of a single dose 20 mg/ kg of the dr

Bilirubin augments Ca2+ load of developing bushy neurons by targeting specific subtype of voltage-gated calcium channels

Abstract Neonatal brain is particularly vulnerable to pathological levels of bilirubin which elevates and overloads intracellular Ca2+, leading to neurotoxicity.However, how voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) are functionally involved in excess calcium influx remains unknown.By performing voltage-clamp recordings from bushy cells in the ventral
