a

Emax, maximum effect; EP50, 50% effect parameter value; gamma, slope of the central part of the curve; NA, not applicable. Emax, EP50, and gamma values are given as means and SEMs.

b

The equation for the inhibitory effect sigmoidal pharmacodynamic model is Emax{1 − [Cgamma/(Cgamma + EP50gamma)]}, where C is the pharmacodynaic parameter.

c

The equation for the inhibitory effect pharmacodynamic model is Emax{1 − [C/(C + EP50)]}, where C is the pharmacodynamic parameter.
