RESUMEN

In an attempt to understand the applicability of various animal models to dyslipidemia in humans and to identify improved preclinical models for target discovery and validation for dyslipidemia, we measured comprehensive plasma lipid profiles in 24 models. These included five mouse strains, six other nonprimate species, and four nonhuman primate (NHP) species, and both healthy animals and animals with metabolic disorders. Dyslipidemic humans were assessed by the same measures. Plasma lipoprotein profiles, eight major plasma lipid fractions, and FA compositions within these lipid fractions were compared both qualitatively and quantitatively across the species. Given the importance of statins in decreasing plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol for treatment of dyslipidemia in humans, the responses of these measures to simvastatin treatment were also assessed for each species and compared with dyslipidemic humans. NHPs, followed by dog, were the models that demonstrated closest overall match to dyslipidemic humans. For the subset of the dyslipidemic population with high plasma triglyceride levels, the data also pointed to hamster and db/db mouse as representative models for practical use in target validation. Most traditional models, including rabbit, Zucker diabetic fatty rat, and the majority of mouse models, did not demonstrate overall similarity to dyslipidemic humans in this study.

RESUMEN

Both the physiological role of muscarinic receptors for bladder function and the therapeutic efficacy of antimuscarinic agents for overactive bladder syndrome are well documented. We investigated the effect of antimuscarinic agents with different subtype selectivity on urodynamic parameters in nonhuman primates and rodents and compared plasma levels of these agents between species. Anesthetized rhesus monkeys were transurethrally catheterized, and the bladder was infused with saline. Urodynamic parameters were measured before and after intravenous drug administration. Tolterodine (nonselective) and oxybutynin (moderately M(3)-selective) increased bladder capacity at lower doses than those required to decrease micturition pressure. However, higher doses of darifenacin (M(3)-selective) were needed to increase the bladder capacity than those needed to decrease the micturition pressure. In rats, tolterodine had no effect on the bladder capacity but decreased the micturition pressure at all of the doses administered. Oxybutynin also decreased micturition pressure and increased bladder capacity at the highest dose. Plasma levels of these drugs overlap in both species. These results suggest that, in addition to the M(3) receptor, other muscarinic receptor subtypes contribute to regulate bladder storage function in nonhuman primates, since less subtype-selective tolterodine and oxybutynin showed higher specificity to the bladder capacity effect than the effect on micturition pressure compared with M(3)-selective darifenacin. In addition, the role of muscarinic receptors in bladder storage function varies between primates and rodents. Compared with rodents, muscarinic receptors may play a more active role during the storage phase to regulate the functional bladder capacity in primates.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Successful transurethral bladder catheterization in male non-human primates can be challenging. An optimized approach for consistent and reproducible catheterization using a refined technique is described. METHODS: Under sedated and non-sedated conditions, transurethral bladder catheterization was performed on 25 male rhesus macaques of varying ages and body weights over time. A refined technique ensuring optimal lubrication of the urethral canal prior to catheter insertion was utilized along with various single and multiple lumen catheters. RESULTS: All animals were successfully catheterized. Sixty-five catheterization sessions were conducted with a high overall success rate (100%). The incidence of catheter (10%) and post-catheterization (2%) complications was low. CONCLUSIONS: The urinary bladder of male rhesus can be reliably and reproducibly catheterized with minimal complication using this approach. Successful catheterization was facilitated by thorough urethral lubrication and using suitable catheters. In addition, this approach may be performed without sedation on thoroughly conditioned animals.
