Changes in serum levels of antibiotics in experimental CCL4 poisoning. I. Gentamycin

: The AA. studied gentamycin serum levels (1mg/Kg b.w.) in rats. The 50% of the animals studied where treated with CCl4 (1 ml/Kg b;w.) 24h previously, the remaining 50% recieved a placebo. The maximum serum levels where similar in both groups; but the antibiotic was removed more slowly (120-240min) in the groups which recieved CCl4. The slower rimotion rate causes more serious histological changes in the kidney.
