Effect of tilmicosin on cardiac muscle and serum creatine kinases activities and serum total protein level in healthy male Balb/C mice

In this study, the effect of tilmicosin on cardiac muscle and serum creatine kinases activities and serum total protein level was investigated. Forty male Balb/C mice were used as materials. Ten mice were used as a control group, and thirty mice were injected with tilmicosin (25 mg/kg body weight, SC, single injection) and monitored for 3 days. The results obtained in the present study show that use of tilmicosin caused temporary increases in cardiac muscle creatine kinase activity and serum total protein level in male Balb/C mice.
