The tricyclic antidepressant doxepin, representing a 5:1 mixture of trans- and cis-isomers, owns tranquilizing properties. This compound has been associated with illicit medication of racing horses, and therefore should be considered in doping control. Because analysis of doxepin in equine body
We report a case of horse tranquilizer (xylazine) overdose from oral ingestion in man, detail a gas-liquid chromatography/mass spectrometer method for xylazine assay in the blood and urine, and suggest the management of acute poisoning. We present a comparative review of some toxicological
Immunocytes, mainly neutrophils and monocytes, exhibit an intrinsic homing property, enabling them to migrate to sites of injury and inflammation. They can thus act as Trojan horses carrying concealed drug cargoes while migrating across impermeable barriers to sites of disease, especially the
Due to its tranquilizing properties, the tricyclic antidepressant doxepin may be misused as a doping agent in competition horses. Therefore, efficient analytical procedures are required to detect this drug in samples submitted for doping control. To screen for parent doxepin in equine blood and
Borna disease virus (BDV) is the prototype genus of a new family, Bornaviridae, within the order Mononegavirales. BDV naturally infects animals and man. The symptomatology in animals ranges from subclinical infection to rare cases of encephalitis. Asymptomatic infection seemed more frequent than
Lectin affinity chromatography was used to demonstrate the glycoprotein nature of the serotonin (5-HT) transporter. The human platelet transporter protein was solubilized with 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS), labelled with [3H]cyanoimipramine and chromatographed on
Animals have been used for medicinal and therapeutic purposes throughout much of the course of human history.1,2 Formal research into the use of animals for therapeutic purposes being in the 1960s, where work investigating the use of pet psychotherapy for treatment
We have previously reported that primary astrocyte cultures prepared from neonatal rat brains show Na(+)-dependent, tricyclic antidepressant-sensitive, high-affinity uptake of [3H]norepinephrine ([3H]NE). Other workers, however, using primary astrocyte cultures from neonatal mice, have failed to
While psychotherapy has many applications for mood disorders, this paper focuses on those psychotherapies (cognitive behaviour therapy or CBT, and interpersonal psychotherapy or IPT) that have been manualized, extensively evaluated, and positioned as definitive therapies for unipolar depressive
HIV type 1 (HIV-1) infects CD4(+) T lymphocytes and tissue macrophages. Infected macrophages differ from T cells in terms of decreased to absent cytopathicity and for active accumulation of new progeny HIV-1 virions in virus-containing compartments (VCC). For these reasons, infected macrophages are
