TABLE 1

Pharmacokinetic parameters of OCT1 substrates in wild-type and Oct1/2−\− mice

Mice (n = 5–16/group) were administered all compounds intravenously (2 mg/kg) and orally (5 or 20 mg/kg for fenoterol). Data presented as mean (S.D.). Values beneath mean data represent ratio of wild-type/knockout mean values, when significant differences were determined or when mean-only values could be determined.
