Pharmacokinetics and absolute oral bioavailability of meloxicam in guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus) Universiteit Gent
Objective: To investigate the pharmacokinetics and absolute oral bioavailability of meloxicam in guinea pigs. Study design: Prospective crossover study. Animals: A group of six healthy male Dunkin Hartley guinea pigs. Methods: A single dose of meloxicam (1.5 mg kg(-1)) was administered orally and intravenously (IV) to six healthy male guinea pigs. A wash-out period of 48 hours was taken into account between administrations (oral and IV) in the ...
A comparative analysis of the intestinal metagenomes present in guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus) and humans (Homo sapiens) Vrije Universiteit Brussel
BACKGROUND:
Guinea pig (Cavia porcellus) is an important model for human intestinal research. We have characterized the faecal microbiota of 60 guinea pigs using Illumina shotgun metagenomics, and used this data to compile a gene catalogue of its prevalent microbiota. Subsequently, we compared the guinea pig microbiome to existing human gut metagenome data from the MetaHIT project.
RESULTS:
We found that the ...

The way wear goes : phytolith-based wear on the dentine–enamel system in guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus) Universiteit Gent
The effect of phytoliths on tooth wear and function has been contested in studies of animal-plant interactions. For herbivores whose occlusal chewing surface consists of enamel ridges and dentine tissue, the phytoliths might particularly erode the softer dentine, exposing the enamel ridges to different occlusal forces and thus contributing to enamel wear. To test this hypothesis, we fed guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus; n = 36 in six groups) for ...
Digestion of bamboo compared to grass and lucerne in a small hindgut fermenting herbivore, the guinea pig (Cavia porcellus) Universiteit Gent
Bamboo is an enigmatic forage, representing a niche food for pandas and bamboo lemurs. Bamboo might not represent a suitable forage for herbivores relying on fermentative digestion, potentially due to its low fermentability. To test this hypothesis, guinea pigs (n = 36) were used as model species and fed ad libitum with one of three forages (bamboo, lucerne, or timothy grass) in a fresh or dried state, with six individuals per group, for 3 ...
Fatty acids of microbial origin in the perirenal fat of rats (Rattus norvegicus domestica) and guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus) fed various diets Universiteit Gent
Guinea pigs are assumed to practice caecotrophy to a higher degree than rats. Studies from leporids suggest that through the practice of caecotrophy, hindgut fermenting species could build up microbial fatty acids (FA) in body tissues. We hypothesized that microbial FA would be detectable in the body tissue of guinea pigs and rats, and this to a higher degree in guinea pigs. Twenty-four rats and guinea pigs were fed with four different pelleted ...
