Additional Plasma Glucagon Pharmacokinetic Parameters—Clearance (CL/F), Volume of Distribution (Vext/F), and Half-Life (t1/2)—After Glucagon as GAI or G-PFS in Study A. These Parameters Were not Determined After Glucagon as GVS or G-PFS in Study B. Bioequivalence was Confirmed When 90% CIs of Geometric Mean Estimates for G-PFS/GAI X 100% were Between 80% and 125%.
