Figure 12. The predicted number of apoptotic cells, caused by locally exceeding a threshold of 110% of the maximum average liver concentration, is negligible for a spatially-extended lobule when the metabolism rate is low (lower curve).

Figure 12

For a rapidly metabolized compound (upper curve) variability in exposure causes some apoptosis in the spatially-extended lobule. The shaded region indicates the 95% interval.
