Comparative Response in Growth and Bone Status to Three Dexamethasone Treatment Regimens in Infant Piglets
Abstract
The objectives of this study were 1) to determine whether a zenith in bone formation (indicated by circulating osteocalcin) existed at night in early life, and 2) to compare the effects of three different dexamethasone (DEX) treatment regimens on bone turnover, bone mineral content, and growth. Three DEX treatment regimens were tested in 8-d-old piglets (n = 8/group):1) low evening dose of DEX (0.5 mg/kg/d) as 70% in the morning and 30% in the …
