Pharmacokinetic parameters of MDZ in the absence or the presence of ITZ and KTZ

−ITZ+ITZ−KTZ+KTZ
AUC (μmol · min/ml)0.336  ± 0.0510.719  ± 0.155** 0.291  ± 0.0740.487  ± 0.052**
CLtot (ml/min/kg)93.3  ± 13.944.4  ± 9.4** 111.4  ± 28.563.9  ± 6.9*
T 1/2β (min)32.6  ± 0.765.2  ± 3.0*** 27.8  ± 3.933.4  ± 1.0*
  • AUC, CLtot, and T1/2β are area under the plasma concentration curve, total body clearance, and half life in β phase, respectively. Values are means ± S.D. (n = 4). Significant differences from −ITZ or −KTZ were determined by Student’s t test (* p< .05, ** p < .01, *** p < .001).
