Retinal dysplasia associated with skeletal abnormalities in Labrador Retrievers.

The clinical, radiographic, and pathologic features of skeletal and ocular dysplasia in 6 Labrador Retrievers were studied. Abnormalities in the appendicular skeleton included retarded growth in the radius, ulna, and tibia; ununited and hypoplastic anconeal and coronoid processes; hip dysplasia, and delayed development of epiphyses. Ocular changes were characterized by retinal dysplasia, with retinal detachment and cataract formation. Dogs from 4 litters were affected.

The effect of halofenate or halofenate free acid on human, rat and guinea pig platelet aggregation.

Halofenate free acid (HFA), the major metabolite of the hypolipemic agent halofenate, blocked the secondary phase of human platelet aggregation induced by ADP, epinephrine, or thrombin; higher concentrations of clofibrate free acid (CFA) were required to produce similar inhibitory effects on platelet aggregation. HFA and CFA inhibited collagen-induced aggregation of human, rat, or guinea pig platelets. Halofenate orally administered to rats caused inhibition of collagen-induced aggregation when plasma levels of HFA exceeded 300 mug/ml, a clinically achievable human plasma concentration. The platelet inhibitory effects of clofibrate administration were less than those observed with halofenate administration.
