TABLE 2

Baseline METH and AMP t1/2 values in maternal and fetal sera and brains based on the concentration-time plots in Fig. 1

The t1/2 values were calculated from the best-fit lines to the terminal elimination phase shown in the METH and AMP concentration-time plots in Fig. 1, A–D. All values were calculated by pharmacokinetic model-independent analysis. Data were calculated from the average maternal and fetal brain and sera values from four grouped animals per time point (see open circles in Fig. 1, A and B).
