Pilot determination of reference intervals for sorbitol in cattle

A pilot study was conducted to determine reference intervals for sorbitol in cattle. The study determined the level of sorbitol in the urine of cattle. It was found that the endogenous concentration of sorbitol in animals to which it was not administered was below the sensitivity threshold of the spectrophotometer. Extremely close values of sorbitol concentration in males and females were explained. A description of the pharmacokinetics of sorbitol in the body of males and females of cattle is presented. It was found that sex hormones and sex differences in organisms do not have a significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of sorbitol. Further paths for scientific research on the clearance of sorbitol and its use in veterinary medicine are proposed.
