Twenty-four hours after a topical application of neat [14C]DBP (10 μl/cm2, 10 cm2) the application site skin was washed, and the animals were sacrificed 48 h later. Values are expressed as means ± S.E.M.

  • 6-150  Significant difference from haired male rats group (p < 0.05).

  • 6-a  Percentage of applied dose.

  • 6-b  Percentage of the applied dose per ml of plasma.

  • 6-c  AUC plasma = % of the applied dose/ml × h.

  • 6-dK el, elimination rate constant of 14C in plasma (1/h).

  • 6-e  Percentage of the applied dose per cm2.

  • 6-f  Gram per cm2 of skin.
