The study was carried out on 18 male rabbits randomaly ascribed into two groups: control one on standard diet and experimental one on high-fat diet for 2 months. Pharmacokinetic assays were performed in all animals after 2 months of the experiment. Blood was sampled within 24 hours after intragastrical administration of digoxin at a dose 0.02 mg/kg. The two compartment open model for extravascular administration was used for calculations. Marked increase in plasma drug concentration, as well as decrease in total clearance were noted. The study revealed the influence of experimental hyperlipidemia on digoxin pharmacokinetics leading to a slower drug elimination.

D004077 Digoxin A cardiotonic glycoside obtained mainly from Digitalis lanata; it consists of three sugars and the aglycone DIGOXIGENIN. Digoxin has positive inotropic and negative chronotropic activity. It is used to control ventricular rate in ATRIAL FIBRILLATION and in the management of congestive heart failure with atrial fibrillation. Its use in congestive heart failure and sinus rhythm is less certain. The margin between toxic and therapeutic doses is small.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
