Ratios of tissue-to-plasma levels of AZT of control and LP-BM5 MuLV-inoculated animals at different times after subcutaneous administration of a 25 mg/kg dose of AZT. Data are mean ±1 SD of four mice.

  • 1-a Tissue-to-plasma ratios are presented as dpm/1010 cells over dpm/ml plasma.

  • 1-b Tissue-to-plasma ratios are presented as dpm/g tissue over dpm/ml plasma.

  • 1-c Significantly different from the corresponding values in the same study group at 30 min after dosing,p < 0.05.

  • 1-d Significantly different from the corresponding values in the same study group at 60 min after dosing,p < 0.05.

  • 1-e Significantly different from that determined at the respective times after dosing of the control animals,p < 0.05.
