  • Saline: the rats were administered saline.

  • GJ (single): the rats were administered GJ 30 min before NFP.

  • GJ (10 days): the rats were administered GJ for 10 successive days twice a day.

  • F: the bioavailability was calculated by the following equations: F(saline) = AUC(id, saline)/AUC(i.v. saline), F(GJ-single) = AUC(id, GJ-single)/AUC(i.v. GJ-single), and F(GJ-10 days) = AUC(id, GJ-10 days)/AUC(i.v. GJ-10 days).
