Organochlorine pesticide residues in bovine milk from Leon (Spain).

Residue levels of the organochlorine pesticides (alpha-HCH, lindane, heptachlor-epoxide, aldrin, endrin, dieldrin, o,p'-TDE, p,p'-TDE, p,p'-DDE and p,p'-DDT) were determined in raw bovine milk and compared with the maximum levels allowed by the European Union (EU) in these foods. The highest incidence percentage of the ten insecticides measured was for lindane, followed by alpha-HCH and aldrin. Moreover, the highest mean residue level was for alpha-HCH. None of the samples analyzed exceeded the maximum levels allowed by the EU.

Microsomal enzyme induction by permethrin in rats.

The synthetic pyrethroid, permethrin, was evaluated for its ability to alter hepatic microsomal drug-metabolizing function. The influence of permethrin (25:75 cis-trans) on plasma antipyrine kinetics and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (gamma-GTP) activity were studied in rats. After 3 days of administration of 90 mg permethrin/kg/day, there was no significant change in the antipyrine half-life and the area under the curve, while the apparent volume of distribution and clearance were significantly increased. Treatment with 190 mg permethrin/kg/day for 3 days decreased antipyrine half-life and the area under the curve, and increased the apparent volume of distribution and the clearance significantly. The gamma-GTP activity was significantly increased within 21 days and 14 days after the start of permethrin administration, at doses of 90 and 190 mg permethrin/kg/day, respectively. The antipyrine kinetics results indicate that permethrin is capable of producing a dose-dependent marked enzyme-inducing effect.

Plasma protein binding of an N-pyrrolyl derivative penicillin in several mammalian species.

The extents of protein binding of an N-pyrrolyl derivative penicillin in plasma of different species were determined in vitro by the equilibrium dialysis technique and spectrophotometry determination. The percentage of binding was determined in cows, sheep, pigs and dogs. The percentage of drug that was protein bound was independent of drug concentration for this penicillin within the range studied (5 to 40 micrograms ml-1). The extent of binding was determined at 20 micrograms ml-1. There was a significant difference in the extent of penicillin binding between species (t test P less than 0.005) except for between cows and dogs (t test P less than 0.05) and sheep and pigs (where it was not significantly different). In the species studied the extent of penicillin binding ranged from 41 to 55 per cent.
