Clinical chemistry measurements were obtained from male Fischer rats 6, 24 and 48 hours after a single dose of vehicle. The vehicle was either corn oil or phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4. Medians and standard deviations were calculated for each clinical chemistry analytes based on all vehicle treated animals at all time points (n = 103). These values were log transformed and then used as the baseline values for the Z-score transformation. All rats were between 12-14 weeks in age and fasted for 12-18 hours prior to dosing.
