Struck et al. Effect of a Short-term Fast on Ketamine-Xylazine Anesthesia in Rats,1. Select the following true statement about a drug’s hepatic extraction ratio:
a. A drug with a hepatic extraction ratio of close to 1 means that hepatic blood flow has little to no effect on clearance of the drug
b. A drug with a hepatic extraction ratio of close to 1 means that drug clearance is related to and highly dependent on hepatic blood flow
c. Hepatic extraction ratio has nothing to do with hepatic drug clearance.
d. None of the above
b. A drug with a hepatic extraction of close to 1 means that drug clearance is related to and highly dependent on hepatic blood flow.
Sloan et al. High Doses of Ketamine-Xylazine Anesthesia Reduce Cardiac Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in Guinea Pigs1. Why are volatile gas anesthetics contra-indicated for ischemia-reperfusion studies?

Analgesic Effects of Meloxicam, Morphine Sulfate, Flunixin Meglumine, and Xylazine Hydrochloride in African-Clawed FrogsFor the acetic acid test, what substance provided the most increase in nocioceptive threshold in Xenopus laevis
Flunixin meglumine at 25 mg/kg
The AAT and Hargreaves tests both measure response to what type of stimuli?
a. Visceral pain b. Cutaneous stimulation of afferent fibers
b. Cutaneous stimulation of afferent fibers
Describe the Hargreaves apparatus.
The Hargreaves apparatus is used to measure thermal nociceptive threshold. It consists of a glass chamber though which a radiant heat source is focused on an area. In this case, frogs were placed in the chamber, and an infrared intensity was focused on the inner thigh. The time from activation of the thermal stimulus to withdrawal response was recorded as the thermal nociceptive threshold
