  • Urine, bile, and feces were collected in portion of 0- to 6-, 6- to 24-, and subsequently in 24-h intervals up to 48 or 168-h after dosing. Bile was collected from conscious bile duct-cannulated animals. Radiolabeled contents were determined by direct liquid scintillation counting (urine and bile) or after combustion (feces).
