Kinetics of DPDS and PM in an isolated perfused rat liver

DPDSPM
Half-life (min)4.2  ± 0.55.2  ± 0.5
Clearance (ml/min)388  ± 5250.6  ± 14.2
AUC (min · μg/ml)54  ± 6481  ± 110
Volume of distribution (ml)2282  ± 113350  ± 56.8

Twenty milligrams of DPDS or PM was added to the liver perfusion medium. Results are means of four replicate experiments ± S.E.
