| Resting | Exercise | |
|---|---|---|
| Qa (mg) | 3.12 (0.2) | 3.59 (0.24)* |
| Qb (mg) | 10.21 (0.62) | 11.40 (0.83)† |
| Koa (×10−2/min) | 0.90 (0.16) | 0.79 (0.18) |
| Kba (×10−2/min) | 8.03 (0.44) | 8.13 (0.73) |
| Kaa (×10−2/min) | 9.11 (0.53) | 8.72 (0.88) |
| Kbb and Kab (×10−2/min) | 2.49 (0.17) | 2.54 (0.25) |
| Foa and Fao (mg/min) | 0.03 (0.003) | 0.03 (0.005) |
| Fab and Fba (mg/min) | 0.24 (0.009) | 0.28 (0.02) |
Values represent means (SEM).
Qa, plasma pool; Qb, liver pool; Koa, fractional turnover rate of Qa to the outside; Kba, fractional turnover rate of Qa into Qb; Kaa, total fractional turnover rate within Qa; Kbb, total fractional turnover rate within Qb; Kab (Kbb), fractional turnover rate of Qb into Qa; Foa, flux of Qa to the outside; Fao (Foa), flux of the outside to Qa; Fab, flux of Qb into Qa; Fba (Fab), flux of Qa into Qb.
*Significantly greater than resting value (p = 0.05).
†Trend to be greater than resting value (p = 0.12).
