Percent difference between the transit compartments model response R_n(t) and the limit lifespan based indirect model response R_∞(t) for four models

n	Stimulation of kin0	Inhibition of kin0	Stimulation of n/TR	Inhibition of n/TR
1	75.3	76.1	64.7	77.5
2	52.5	53.2	42.1	63.1
3	42.9	43.7	32.9	57.8
4	37.2	37.9	27.8	54.9
5	33.5	33.8	24.4	53.0
10	23.6	24.4	16.4	47.9
20	16.4	16.9	11.2	43.9
100	6.5	7.8	4.7	35.4

The difference was evaluated at as the maximum absolute difference between R_n(t) and R_∞(t) relative to the maximum absolute difference between R_∞(t) and ${\text{R}}_0:\underset{\text{t}\ge 0}{\text{max}}\mid {\text{R}}_{\text{n}}\left(\text{t}\right)-{\text{R}}_{\infty }\left(\text{t}\right)\mid ∕\underset{\text{t}\ge 0}{\text{max}}\mid {\text{R}}_{\infty }\left(\text{t}\right)-{\text{R}}_0\mid \times 100$.

The model parameters are as in Fig. 6
