Changes in drug metabolism with increasing age: 1. warfarin binding and plasma proteins.

M J Hayes, M J Langman, A H Short
PMCID: PMC1402487  PMID: 1234489

Abstract

1 A decrease was found in the binding capacity of elderly people for warfarin. 2 The decrease in binding correlated with a fall in plasma albumin concentrations. 3 No changes in the association constant were observed.
