  • Title: Dexamethasone-induced serum biochemical changes in goats.
    Author: Maddux JM, Moore WE, Keeton KS, Shull RM.
    Journal: Am J Vet Res; 1988 Nov; 49(11):1937-40. PubMed ID: 3247919.
    Abstract:
    Dexamethasone was administered at sequential dosages of 0.1 mg/kg/day for 3 days and 1 mg/kg/day for 3 days to 6 adult female goats. The greatest effects induced were hypokalemia, hypophosphatemia, and hyperglycemia. At low dosages of dexamethasone, transient increases (P less than 0.05) developed in serum sodium and chloride concentrations. An effect on hepatic physiology or iron metabolism was not observed.
