“…Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS; Agilent G1946D Quadrupole Plain Detector) was also conducted to directly detect the change in concentration of PTIP in rats' serum for bioavailability analysis based on previously established methods. 29 Ferric Chloride Injury Model SD rats (300 AE 30 g, male, n ¼ 6 per group) were injected with saline, eptifibatide (180 µg/kg, iv), bivalirudin (1 mg/kg, iv), eptifibatide (180 µg/kg, iv) þ bivalirudin (1 mg/kg, iv), DTIP (1 mg/kg, iv), and PTIP (1 mg/kg, iv and sc). After 0.5 hour, recipient mice were anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital followed by surgical exposure of the carotid artery or jugular vein.…”
