BSA (%)00.0160.0940.250.51
Unbound fraction10.4860.1260.04870.0231
Embedded Imagea (μl/min per milligram protein)60.3 ± 5.069.1 ± 12.984.0 ± 4.6113 ± 15130 ± 10

  • a Data shown in Fig. 5. ANS hepatic uptakes were determined as ANS and BSA concentrations were varied, and the unbound concentration of ANS was kept constant at approximately 2.4 μM.

  • b Data shown in Fig. 6. ANS uptakes were determined with varying BSA concentrations and keeping ANS concentration constant at 20 μM.
