[Tissue levels following intravenous administration of tetracyclines (author's transl)]. 1977

D Radu, and P Huljic, and T Hewel, and E Knetsch

Interested by a comparative trial on tetracycline concentrations in gallbladder, bile and peritoneum 3 hours after administration, we wanted to know the long-term tissue concentrations, measured towards the end of a 24-hour off-drug interval, as these concentrations are particularly important for a bacteriostatic drug. We found that the tissue concentrations of doxycycline in gallbladder wall, lung, muscle, and thyroid gland were 2 to 3 times higher than those of pyrrolidino-methyltetracycline. The concentrations in the skin, in various sections of the intestinal tract and of the peritoneum, and in the gallbladder content were about the same for both drugs. The implications of these data for therapy are discussed.

D010537 Peritoneum A membrane of squamous EPITHELIAL CELLS, the mesothelial cells, covered by apical MICROVILLI that allow rapid absorption of fluid and particles in the PERITONEAL CAVITY. The peritoneum is divided into parietal and visceral components. The parietal peritoneum covers the inside of the ABDOMINAL WALL. The visceral peritoneum covers the intraperitoneal organs. The double-layered peritoneum forms the MESENTERY that suspends these organs from the abdominal wall. Parietal Peritoneum,Peritoneum, Parietal,Peritoneum, Visceral,Visceral Peritoneum,Parametrium,Parametriums
D004064 Digestive System A group of organs stretching from the MOUTH to the ANUS, serving to breakdown foods, assimilate nutrients, and eliminate waste. In humans, the digestive system includes the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT and the accessory glands (LIVER; BILIARY TRACT; PANCREAS). Ailmentary System,Alimentary System
