TABLE 5

Pharmacokinetic parameters after single oral administrations of P-glycoprotein substrates (fexofenadine, talinolol, and aliskiren) to cynomolgus monkeys with or without curcumin or elacridar pretreatment

Data are expressed as means ± S.E. of cynomolgus monkeys in each group. There were no significant differences, except in Tmax, between UT and curcumin pretreatment as determined by a paired t test.
