title: The influence of dimethoxybenfluron on biochemical and haematological parameters in rabbits.
abstract: The influence of repeated i.v. administration of dimethoxybenfluron (NO-1-B) (12 or 24 mg base/kg once weekly, 10 weeks) on biochemical and haematological parameters were studied in rabbits in vivo. No significant changes were mostly found in the serum ion levels between the dimethoxybenfluron and the control groups, as well as in most of other biochemical parameters (including total protein and albumin levels). Nevertheless, the lower dose of dimethoxybenfluron caused an increase in the glucose level. Furthermore, no significant changes were mostly present also in haematological parameters in the dimethoxybenfluron groups of rabbits (a mild decrease in thrombocytes and leucocytes). The results of our study support an assumption of good tolerance of dimethoxybenfluron from the viewpoint of its influence on biochemical and haematological parameters in rabbits and may be considered of importance for a possible therapeutic use of the derivatives.
