* represent comparisons to SC + vehicle group in all sexes and $ represents comparison with SC + vehicle group of the same sex. A single, double, or triple symbol (*, $) indicates a P value of ≤ 0.05, 0.01, or 0.001, respectively. AUC represents geometric mean (upper and lower 90% confidence interval). Cmax and t1/2 represent arithmetic mean (SD), and tmax represents median (range).
