S9E18 Peptides and How We Got Here
E
29:26Erica LacherHOST
You have what we call these highly conserved signals, and so it tries to be as efficient as it can, and even though there's a gajillion signals in the body, it is incredibly rare for something to do just one thing.
E
29:40Erica LacherHOST
One of the biggest examples of this are the, the COX receptors, which is what we use for drugs like Bute and Banamine.
J
29:48Justin LongHOST
Yep.
E
29:49Erica LacherHOST
The reason we can have some GI side effects from those is that not only do those receptors work on inflammation, they also work on blood flow to the GI tract.
J
32:54Justin LongHOST
but they're still coming as injectables.
E
32:56Erica LacherHOST
They are.

P
11:09Paige Schmidt-RiosGUEST
And then our fluoroquinolones, which would be your Baytrils, Advocin, Pratellix.
P
11:15Paige Schmidt-RiosGUEST
And one thing I like to highlight with the fluoroquinolones is those antibiotics are also a clinically important drug in human medicine, so we have restrictions when it comes to using that antibiotic.
6 MINS LATER
P
16:59Paige Schmidt-RiosGUEST
I think we talked a lot about the antibiotics.
P
17:01Paige Schmidt-RiosGUEST
I guess one thing I would add is we do have other things that we can do treatment-wise.
P
17:05Paige Schmidt-RiosGUEST
So there's supplemental treatments such as Banamine that will reduce a fever.
P
17:10Paige Schmidt-RiosGUEST
So taking a rectal temperature of sick animals, just seeing if they have a fever or not.
