Experimental Hyperlipidemia Causes an Increase in the Electrocardiographic Changes Associated With Amiodarone
Bibliographic record
Abstract
To assess the influence of hyperlipidemia (HL) on amiodarone (AM) effect in the heart, rats were pretreated with either 1 g/kg poloxamer 407 (to induce HL) or saline intraperitoneally. At approximately 36 hours afterward, rats were given AM HCl (25, 50, and 100 mg.kg.d) or saline intravenously through implanted venous cannulas for 5 days. Under anesthesia, electrocardiogram (ECG) was recorded using subcutaneous electrodes and blood samples were withdrawn at baseline and 12 hours after the first, middle, and last doses. At the end of the study, heart tissues were collected. Specimens were analyzed for AM and desethylamiodarone. HL by itself did not alter the ECG. Compared with baseline, the end of study prolongation of QTc and PR intervals were significantly (P < 0.05) higher in all AM-treated HL rats. AM plasma and heart concentrations in HL rats after the last dose were significantly (P < 0.05) higher than in normolipidemic rats. Similar to AM, in HL rats, plasma desethylamiodarone after the last dose was significantly higher than in normolipidemic rats. The cholesterol to triglyceride plasma ratio was linearly related to QT interval and plasma and heart AM concentrations. HL increased the ECG effects of AM by increasing heart concentrations.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
