TABLE 2

Summary of pioglitazone, rosiglitazone, raloxifene, and erythromycin kinetic parameter estimates for two- (corrected and uncorrected kobs) and three-parameter models, Spearman's rank correlation coefficient (rs), and a test for a positive linear regression of kobs versus ln[I]

Ninety-five percent profile-likelihood confidence intervals for each kinetic estimate are listed in parentheses. The rank correlation and linear regression tests do not depend on the nonlinear model fit and are reported on the same row as the three-parameter model estimates. kobs[0 μM] is not estimated in the 2p model.
