The effects of varying levels of cimetidine (N"-cyano-N-methyl-N'-{ 2-[(5-methylimidazol-4-yl)methylthio]-ethyl}guanidine) on Eimeria acervulina (duodenal coccidiosis)-induced changes in gain, efficiency, duodenal pH, and liver copper concentration of chicks were investigated. In a preliminary trial, gain, efficiency, and duodenal pH were significantly reduced in chicks inoculated one time with 1 X lo6 sporulated oocysts. Dietary addition of 121 ppm monensin (2-[5-ethyltetrahydro-5-[tetrahydro-3-methyl-5-[tetrahydro-6-hydroxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)-3,5-d~methyl-2H-pyran-2yll-2-furyl ] -2-fury11 -9-h ydrox y -P-methoxy-a,y,2,8tetramethyl -1,6-dioxaspiro[4.5]decane-7-butyric acid) prevented these coccidiosis-induced aberrations. In subsequent trials, growth rate, feed efficiency, and duodenal pH were reduced by E. acervulina infection, but were unaffected (P > 0.10) by dietary addition of 0.0 1 % cimetidine. Linear depressions (P < 0.05) in gain and efficiency, however, were observed from 0.05 and 0.10% cimetidine additions. Dietary addition of 500 ppm copper increased liver copper levels thirtyfold (P < 0.01) after 2 weeks.Significant coccidiosis X copper interactions were detected in gain, efficiency, duodenal pH reduction, and liver copper elevation of chicks repeatedly inoculated with 4 X lo5 sporulated E. acervulina oocysts. Coccidiosis increased liver copper levels (P < 0.0 1) of chicks fed excess copper an additional threefold compared with uninfected chicks fed excess copper. Dietary additions of 0.0 1,0.05 or 0.10% cimetidine were ineffective in preventing coccidiosis-associated performance and duodenal pH depressions as well as the coccidiosis-induced liver copper elevation. Apparently, host response to cimetidine is minor in comparison to effects of coccidia on duodenal pH. Increased copper solubility at low duodenal pH may explain high tissue copper levels and enhanced copper toxicity due to coccidiosis. 0 1986 Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine. 35 1

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
