  • a Parameter estimate ± S.E. from nonlinear least-squares regression analysis of pooled mdr1a(-/-) or mdr1a(+/+) mouse data. Ka, Cl, Vc, Vb, and γ were constrained to the same value for mdr1a(-/-) or mdr1a(+/+) mice. t1/2 and t1/2eq,brain were calculated from 0.693/(Vc/Cl) and 0.693/Keq,brain, respectively.

  • b Propagation of error was used to calculated S.E.
