Background: Insulinomas in guinea pigs are poorly documented. Case description: A 2.5-year-old female guinea pig presented with severe hypoglycemia, head tilt, weakness, weight loss, hypothermia and a radiodense abdominal structure. The serum insulin concentration was measured with unsatisfactory...

Case Description: A 5-year-old male guinea pig (Cavia porcellus) was examined because of lethargy, weight loss, and episodic neurologic signs, including paddling in lateral recumbency, head tilt, and circling. Prior to initial examination, the animal was treated with corn syrup whenever it appeared ...

Ethnopharmacological relevance: Chlorogenic acid (CA) is one of the major ingredients in Honeysuckle which exhibits anticancer, antibacterial, antiviral, hypoglycemic and anti-HIV activities. However, with the frequent emergence of anaphylactoid reactions of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)...

The author reviews the general principles and the best methods of anaesthesia in rats, mice, hamsters, guineapigs, and chinchillas. Because of their small size, it is indispensable to know the exact body weight of laboratory animals. Before anaesthesia, it is important to get an accurate anamnesis...

L-methionine 10 mMole/kg per day given to g.pigs led to a state characterized early by fatty liver, hypoglycaemia and aminoacidaemia and later by hypothermia, profound hypoglycaemia and death within 60 hours. Paralleling the development of this state, hepatic ATP progressively became bound to...

During a study of carbohydrate, mineral and enzyme metabolism in guinea-pigs, experimentally infected with Ascaris lumbricoides, the author found a disturbance of the liver function during the early stages of ascariasis which produced hypoglycaemia, hyponitraemia, hypercalcaemia, and reductions in...

An immediate and progressive fall in blood glucose occurs in CCl₄-treated guineapigs given a lethal dose of bacterial endotoxin. The hypoglycaemia is evidently due to a decrease in rate of hepatic glucose production. Maintenance of the blood sugar level appears to prolong survival but does not...

This article records the results of experiments on the sugar and fat contents of the blood and liver of guineapigs infected by Trypanosoma equiperdum. Glucose and sorbite were administered to normal and infected guineapigs and the effect on the blood sugar content recorded. In normal guineapigs the ...
