Total cumulative % naltrexone excreted is significant with HAD-1 > Wistar, but no significant differences between Wistar and LAD-1 rats and also between HAD-1 and LAD-1 at 5% level of significance.

Free cumulative % naltrexone excreted is significant with HAD-1 > Wistar, but no significant difference between Wistar and LAD-1 rats and also between HAD-1 and LAD-1 at 5% level of significance.

Total cumulative % conjugated naltrexone excreted is not significant (i.e. no significant difference between Wistar, LAD-1 and HAD-1 rats at 5% level of significance).
