Pharmacokinetics in immature animals: a review
Article Abstract:
An analysis of drug pharmacokinetics between neonatal and adult food-producing animals included a review of the differences in absorption, distribution, metabolism and renal excretion of drugs. It was pointed out that delayed elimination was the main problem in neonatal drug metabolism since renal clearance is underdeveloped. Therefore it was suggested that extra care must be exercised in administering drugs to immature animals.

Biokinetics and biliary excretion of radiotocopherol administered orally to sheep
Article Abstract:
Four adult sheeps were given D-alpha-tocopherol orally and its plasma concentration serially measured during a 72-hour period after which were killed and tissue distribution examined. Results showed slow transport of the compound from the intestines to the blood via the lymphatics; with a small amount excreted through the bile unchanged.
