Values are expressed as means ± S.E.M.

  • 5-150  Significant difference from non-cannulated rats dosed in the same conditions (p < 0.05).

  • 5-a  Values obtained 72 h after a single intravenous administration of DBP (1 mg/kg).

  • 5-b  Values obtained 30 h after a single intravenous administration of DBP (1 mg/kg).

  • 5-c  Excretion in urine or feces 24 h after a topical administration of neat DBP (10 μl/cm2, 10 cm2).

  • 5-d  Area under the plasma time curve of the radioactivity was calculated from the plasma concentrations reported in the Table 3.
