Doc-AmB | ABLC | Doc-AmB | ABLC | |
Kidney | 3.95 ± 1.24 | 0.20 ± 0.12b | 5.43 ± 2.41 | 0.43 ± 0.18bc |
Liver | 9.27 ± 2.18 | 8.68 ± 3.20 | 9.03 ± 1.82 | 5.12 ± 2.71 |
Lung | 3.22 ± 2.94 | 1.07 ± 1.30 | 1.11 ± 0.68 | 2.77 ± 1.55 |
Spleen | 1.31 ± 0.79 | 5.37 ± 3.75 | 3.68 ± 3.10 | 4.69 ± 3.57 |
Heart | 0.11 ± 0.20 | NDd | 0.25 ± 0.06 | 0.02 ± 0.00c |
By these regimens the animals each received 1 mg of AmB per kg. The cholesterol enrichment containes 0.5% (wt/vol) cholesterol. Data are means ± standard deviations (n = 4 for Doc-AmB and n = 5 for ABLC).
P < 0.05 versus Doc-AmB.
P < 0.05 versus control rabbits.
ND, below detectable limit of the assay.
