Albumin and total protein binding in rats and humans

Binding capacity (Bmax) is expressed as nanomoles per milligram albumin or total protein. Disassociation constant (Kd) is expressed as micromolars. Significant differences between pyrethroids are indicated by different subscript letters. Data are mean ± S.D.; P < 0.05.
