“…Although CsA is available for oral administration in clinical treatment, a review concludes that intraperitoneal injection is a sufficient route to examine the effect of a compound in the pharmacological and proof-of-concept animal studies because it maintains the therapeutic bioavailability whereas the oral route has the potential possibility of degradation or modification of compound conformation (Al Shoyaib et al, 2020). Indeed, CsA is often intraperitoneally administrated in animal studies in previous reports (Provencher and Gascon-Barré, 2002;Ciechomska et al, 2005;Colgan et al, 2005). Vehicle or 50 mg/kg/day of CsA was administrated intraperitoneally for 3 days.…”
