Final #1 of 6

It's that time of the semester again (finals time!) - but this time it's the LAST TIME!

Here are a few fun facts for my first final exam tomorrow morning - Metabolic and Endocrine Diseases!

Metabolic Final FUN Facts:

1. Pergolide is used to treat PPID (Equine Cushing’s Syndrome) by increasing the action of dopamine. Pergolide was first used to treat Parkinson’s disease in people, but it was linked to valvular dysfunction and discontinued.

2. The CNS, placenta, and mammary glands are the only tissues NOT under the regulation of insulin.

3. Xylitol (an artificial sweetener in GUM) will cause severe hypoglycemia in dogs.

4. Cows with fatty liver will NOT be icteric. Cats will!
