English: *Enzymes, their cellular location, substrates and products in human steroidogenesis. Shown also is the major classes of steroid hormones: progestagens, mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids, androgens and estrogens.
Specifically, a small amount of evidence supports the use of intravenous cefazolin once rather than three times a day when it is combined with probenecid. [ 2 ] It has also found use as a masking agent , [ 3 ] potentially helping athletes using performance-enhancing substances to avoid detection by drug tests.
In the dog, the half-life of cefovecin is 5.5 days, and in the cat, it is 6.9 days. [7] In birds and reptiles, the half-life is only a few hours, much shorter than in dogs and cats. [ 8 ] In cats, 99% of cefovecin is bound to proteins in the blood plasma .
