Medetomidine (MED), midazolam (MID), and butorphanol (BUT) mixed anesthetic (MMB) has been used in laboratory animals since ketamine (KET) was designated as a narcotic in Japan in 2007. We previously reported that MMB produced anesthetic effects in mice and rats. We also demonstrated the efficacy...

This study was performed to determine the optimal reversal dosage of atipamezole on medetomidine-ketamine combination anesthesia. The subject rabbits were divided into five groups (n=5/group), and all were anesthetized with intravenous medetomidine (0.35 mg/kg) and ketamine (5 mg/kg). Atipamezole...
