KiandKmvalues for the uptake of cimetidine, ranitidine, and benzylpenicillin by the isolated rat CP

The effect of estrone sulfate, cimetidine, estradiol-17β-glucuronide (E2 17βG), PAH, benzylpenicillin, and ranitidine was examined with regard to uptake by the rat isolated CP. The Ki and Km values were determined by nonlinear regression analysis as described under Materials and Methods. Data are taken from Fig. 7. Each value represents the mean ± S.E. (n = 3-6).
