YAKUGAKU ZASSHI
The Pharmaceutical Society of Japan, established in 1880, is one of Japan’s oldest and most distinguished academic societies. The Society currently has around 15,000 members. It publishes three monthly scientific journals. Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin (Chem. Pharm. Bull.) began publication in 1953 as Pharmaceutical Bulletin. It covers chemistry fields in the pharmaceutical and health sciences. Biological and Pharmaceutical Bulletin (Biol. Pharm. Bull.) began publication in 1978 as the Journal of Pharmacobio-Dynamics, which then merged the Journal of Health Science, another former Society’s journal, in 2012. It covers various biological topics in the pharmaceutical and health sciences. Yakugaku Zasshi (Japanese for “Pharmaceutical Science Journal”) has the longest history, with publication beginning in 1881. Yakugaku Zasshi is published mostly in Japanese, except for some articles related to clinical pharmacy and pharmaceutical education, which are published in English. The main aim of the Society’s journals is to advance the pharmaceutical sciences with research reports, scientific communication, and high-quality discussion. The average review time for articles submitted to the journals is around one month for first decision. The complete texts of all of the Society’s journals can be freely accessed through J-STAGE. The Society’s editorial committee hopes that the content of its journals will be useful to your research, and also invites you to submit your own work to the journals.

Effects of Fluctuating Triglyceride Levels on Initial and Steady-state Serum Amiodarone Concentrations in Japanese Patients: A Retrospective Study Read more
Editor's pick

This study demonstrated that triglyceride (TG) levels were positively correlated with amiodarone concentrations during the initial treatment period. Previous studies have reported that TG fluctuations minimally affect the pharmacologically active unbound fraction. Therefore, dose adjustment based solely on TG changes is not warranted during the initial period, when maintenance of adequate antiarrhythmic efficacy is critical. These findings improve our understanding of the influence of TG levels on amiodarone concentrations and contribute to the optimization of amiodarone dosing.
